...usually found myself stuck for a reply. It was difficult enough to conjure up the picture of Soviet generals -- hefty, beetle-browed men in bulky overcoats -- leaning over a map while the Air Marshal for Nuclear War Contingency Planning says, "Then we'll get Atlanta and take out all the Southeastern branch offices in one swoop." Even if that were the Russians' plan, how would Atlanta people know about it? A Chamber of Commerce mole in the Kremlin? Even if they knew about it, why would they boast about it?

...state dinner Monday night, a civilian aide to Gorbachev buttonholed Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev, the chief of the Soviet General Staff. The General Secretary was eager for a START treaty this year, before the U.S. went through what the Soviets regard as the temporarily paralyzing and perennially mystifying process whereby it changes its leadership. Why not put the SLCM issue aside for the moment so that START can go forward? "Nyet!" boomed the marshal...
