Gorbachev's genius may be to recognize that he can achieve the old ends by different means. The demilitarization and economic liberalization of Eastern Europe, even up to and including a reunified Germany, might well result in the kind of safe, neutralized continent Moscow has long sought. The U.S. role would wither, and the Soviet Union, the largest land power, would be free to dominate. Josef Joffe, foreign editor of the Munich newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung, argues that decay of the East bloc is not harmful to the Soviet Union as long as it does not proceed more quickly than...

The "little man in a military uniform," said Bush, had behaved like "an unwanted animal at a garden party...
...score points at home in a race that, by most accounts, he was already winning? The answer may lie in a poll published two weeks ago by the Nicaraguan Institute of Public Opinion. With nearly 90% of Nicaragua's 1.97 million voters registered, large numbers of them as the result of a Sandinista campaign, Ortega led the opposition by 26% to 21%. Yet the Institute's sample showed that 46% remained undecided -- more than enough to make any candidate for office extremely uneasy...
