In fact, he made up his mind little more than two weeks before the summit. Even then, Bush moved largely in response to Gorbachev, who had just set forth yet another compelling proposal to Secretary of State James Baker...

Roving crowds, described by police as a mixture of the hungry, the criminal and the opportunistic, overwhelmed poorly prepared local police. Stores not gutted by looters closed their doors, creating widespread food shortages. The unrest then spread to the volatile working-class suburbs of Buenos Aires...
...term ends on Dec. 10. When the two men met last week, however, they apparently agreed that an early transition would suit neither one. Alfonsin wants a normal, democratic transfer of power -- Argentina's first since 1928 -- while Menem and his sharply divided party realize they have no comprehensive plan for stitching together the shattered economy...
