President Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev had ceremonially shaken hands, posed for photographers and then sat down to business, alone except for interpreters and notetakers. Reagan assumed their opening discussion would be a general one, each man outlining his broad vision of ways to manage the superpower rivalry.
