...working themselves out," Shultz said after the meetings ended Saturday. He cited strategic arms and "especially" intermediate-range missiles based in Europe as the most promising areas for agreement. For his part, Shevardnadze implied that he and Shultz had recommended that the U.S. and Soviet Union proceed toward a summit. "We have no doubt that this meeting is necessary," he said. The two ministers plan to continue discussions this week at the U.N., said Shevardnadze...
...Santa Barbara, the Reagan Administration condemned the hijacking and ordered a Sixth Fleet aircraft carrier, the Forrestal, to proceed from Naples to the vicinity of Cyprus in the event that the Pan Am jet was flown there. Vice Admiral John Poindexter, the National Security Adviser, telephoned news of the hijacking to President Reagan at his ranch in the Santa Ynez Mountains just as the Reagans were about to set out on their daily horseback ride. Later the White House released a statement declaring, "Nothing can justify such barbarism. We can think of no punishment too severe for the criminals responsible...
...have a life, so there's nothing for you to interfere with," he genially tells Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis), a journalist planning a story on his research into teleportation.

Earlier this year Reagan touched off a storm of protest by declaring, at the Pentagon's behest, that the U.S. would no longer be bound by the unratified SALT II limits on offensive weapons...
...actually have moved it backward. Reagan indicated to Gorbachev that he wants to loosen the strictures on the development and testing of exotic defenses so that the 1972 pact would permit the U.S. to proceed unfettered with SDI if and when the program is ready to move from the laboratories on earth to experiments in space. That is exactly what the Soviets want to stop, since they would then have to develop expensive offensive and defensive countermeasures. Moreover, for the record at least, Reagan remains committed to eventual deployment...
