Nonetheless, the prognosis for progress was gloomy. Reagan shows no inclination to back down on Star Wars. Indeed, two U.S. arms-control officials suggested last week that the 1972 antiballistic-missile treaty might have to be revised to accommodate space technologies. As Brandt said after his Moscow visit, "It will be very, very difficult to find a common denominator...
