Gorbachev seems to have come up against a similar problem from his own good soldiers. He handpicked Yazov in May 1987, after a quixotic West German peacenik landed in Red Square in a single-engine Cessna (in effect, a piloted cruise missile). That event gave Gorbachev an excuse to purge the Defense Ministry.

The main event, of course, was the face-to-face meeting between President Reagan and Soviet Leader Gorbachev. The most fascinating sideshow: Raisa and Nancy playing a catty game of one-upmanship. But there was more -- much more. Religion in the Soviet Union was suddenly a hot topic for TV reporters, as were Soviet rock music and the effect of glasnost on the Soviet press.
