...meeting underscored the drive toward detente based on mutual self-interest-especially economic self-interest on the part of the Soviets, who want trade and technology from the West. None of the agreements are shatterproof, and some will lead only to future bargaining. But the fact that they touched so many areas suggested Nixon's strategy: he wanted to involve all of the Soviet leadership across the board -trade, health, science-in ways that would make it difficult later to reverse the trends set at the summit...

In three annual onslaughts against General Motors, the Project on Corporate Responsibility has never polled more than 2.3% on any of its proposals -despite the support of more than 20 churches, 15 universities, five labor unions, three mutual funds and assorted banks, pension funds and trusts...

The child of Russian working-class parents, he was born in the Ukrainian town now known as Dnieprodzerzhinsk. He had the right proletarian qualifications for Soviet success, but his early career was not singularly promising. After graduating from a trade school in Kursk, he held a series of unspectacular jobs: land surveyor, factory worker, school director...
