Moscow's about-face has mesmerized Western Europe, convincing many that there is no longer anything to fear from the Kremlin. A poll in the Times of London last week asked which nation "wishes to extend its power over other countries." The U.S.S.R. was named by 35% and the U.S. by 33%, compared with 70% and 31% respectively in a 1981 poll...

Of 37 works introduced from 1985 to 1988, few went on to major stagings, and none...
...approval (54% last week in a TIME/CNN poll, down slightly but still substantial). All the while he has been shrinking his nightly TV presence by as much as one-third compared with his predecessor's, and often he is nowhere to be seen on the front pages of the nation's newspapers...
