...weapons to offset NATO'S growing nuclear might in Europe and we shall take corresponding countermeasures with regard to U.S. territory." It was another explicit warning that Moscow is prepared to introduce new missiles into Eastern Europe and mount new cruise-type missiles on refurbished submarines that could patrol U.S. coastal waters. Though Kulikov did not say so explicitly, Western analysts believe that the land-based missiles would probably be located in East Germany and Czechoslovakia...
Other teams did not take the races so seriously. There was even a rowing California rugby team and a ski patrol waiting for winter. Other rowers wore Mickey Mouse hats and Halloween masks. Spectators added to the fun by tossing beers to parched oarsmen after they crossed the finish line...
Hence the provocation of the hedgehogs, which consists of meddling just enough to get Washington to see a Soviet threat, and then waiting for the United States to make enemies. It is useful to have American warships shelling Lebanese villages, U.S. Special Forces on patrol with Honduran soldiers who shoot peasants, or "constructive engagement" of South Africa as the South Africans attack neighboring countries.

The three main elements all require further tinkering: 1) the cease-fire will be monitored by "neutral observers"; 2) a Lebanese "security committee" will decide on a permanent force to patrol the Chouf Mountains; and 3) most important, Lebanon's major groups will be called together for a conference of national reconciliation.
