...Lady does not always get her way. When Clark became Interior Secretary, she wanted Baker to replace Clark as National Security Adviser, with Deaver becoming White House chief of staff. The plan foundered, however, when it was opposed by Administration conservatives, particularly Meese and CIA Director William Casey, who mistrust the highly flexible pragmatism of Baker and Deaver...

China shares with the U.S. a mistrust of Moscow's international designs, but its leaders bridle when U.S. strategy seems to regard them primarily as a strategic foil to the Soviets. Indeed, last week Moscow announced that First Deputy Prime Minister Ivan Arkhipov will make an official trip to China in mid-May; he will be the highest-ranking Kremlin visitor since the early 1960s.
