When Aronson and Pavlov met in Washington on April 2, five weeks after Chamorro's victory in Nicaragua, it became clear the Soviets had learned just how the new game could be played. The talk now concerned El Salvador, and the Soviets deftly reversed roles. With Moscow supporting the F.M.L.N. rebels, Pavlov borrowed the arguments Aronson had advanced for nine months with respect to Nicaragua. Pavlov said he saw "no lack of desire on the part of the F.M.L.N. to negotiate" an end to its war with the Cristiani government. He asked that the U.S. "pressure" Cristiani to "speak seriously...

...trust and shared success, a potential bridge across rocky moments ahead. An example occurred last April, when Baker and Shevardnadze appeared stalled on an arms-control agreement that had seemed virtually sealed in February. On both sides, the mood was glum. During a break in the discussions, Aronson and Pavlov conferred in a small room on the State Department's seventh floor. As Shevardnadze walked by, Pavlov introduced him to Aronson. For the first time in two days, Shevardnadze's smile did not seem forced. "You two," said Shevardnadze, "are the only ones who seem to have accomplished anything...

"That's how we incorrectly looked at it at the beginning, before we really engaged. So the prospect of the contras fighting again seemed to us very real...

...south, to the area of his responsibility. Instead, he flew east, to Moscow. Aronson's destination conformed to the Administration's strategy and signaled respect: the U.S. was serious about engaging the Soviets in Central America. On June 20 at 10:10 a.m. Aronson and his Soviet counterpart, Yuri Pavlov, sat across from each other for the first time at a long conference table at a Soviet Foreign Ministry guesthouse in Moscow. The initial session went better than Washington could ever have imagined. Both Aronson and Pavlov appeared intent on solving problems rather than scoring points. Each clearly spoke with...

...void. More ominously, evidence suggested that Soviet munitions intended for Havana were being transshipped to Nicaragua. Technically, Gorbachev's pledge to Bush was being honored. On the ground in Central America, however, the situation had barely changed. Aronson asked for a clarification: Was transshipment permitted by Moscow? No, said Pavlov. "We will talk to our Cuban friends...
