...Limited Scope. Though symbolically important in the President's program to build bridges of understanding to Eastern Europe, the treaty is actually no more than a footbridge. It merely lays the basis for the two countries to resume an exchange of consulates,*leaving the question of number and location to future negotiations. The Administration would like one consulate in Leningrad; Russia is believed to want one in Chicago. The treaty also provides immunity from arrest for all consulate officials and employees. Further, it requires the Soviet government to notify U.S. officials within three days of the arrest...
Despite the treaty's limited scope, it clearly represents an improvement in U.S.-Soviet relations. The Russian Presidium is expected to rubber-stamp it shortly, thereby completing action on the first bilateral treaty ever entered into by the two countries. A pact to prohibit nuclear weapons in space may also be ratified shortly. But agreement on the thorniest issue-anti-ballistic missiles-is a remoter prospect, though talks on the subject are scheduled to begin in Moscow soon. In the meantime, Russia is thought to be going ahead with plans to deploy an ABM system...

His supreme achievement, many feel, has been his ability to accommodate all three elements without slighting any of them...
...constraints he works within are considerable. First, the scope of his office was traditionally limited, with social and disciplinary problems receiving most attention. The image of the office--because it is separated from the academic side of the University--suffers in the eyes of both students and Faculty. At the same time, there is always some fear about the Deans' office "moving in" and taking over control of different aspects of undergraduate life. The dean, according to one top administrator, "can't be a big, flamboyant figure--he has to work quietly...." In addition, Monro had a personal handicap...
