...there was a third criterion, "negotiability": Was there any chance that the Soviets could be induced to accept a proposal? Negotiability ought to be a legitimate consideration in arms-control policymaking. It means simply keeping the enterprise within the realm of the possible and not wasting valuable time on mutual stonewalling.

Like his U.S. counterparts, the Japanese Mickey is instructed never to speak. But he always manages...
...preparations is to prevent world nuclear war," Holloway writes. "At the same time, however, a strong emphasis on the need to prepare to such a war has been a distinctive feature of Soviet military thinking in the nuclear age." In other words, though the Soviets agree that deterrence and mutual vulnerability are crucial for world stability, they do not actually rule out the possibility of a nuclear conflict; if it does occur, they are determined...
