...Geneva than by what happens in what is likely to be a long and difficult series of follow-up negotiations. Says one senior American official: "Both sides have moved to the recognition that the real importance of the summit will rest on what comes after it." Or, as Shultz put the point, "Life doesn't end in November." --By George J. Church. Reported by Laurence I. Barrett and Johanna McGeary/Washington and James O. Jackson/Moscow ON THE TABLE...
...next week, he will not sally forth alone to meet his Kremlin rival like some ancient warrior king seeking to settle the disputes of nation states in single combat. By his side as he spars and reasons with Mikhail Gorbachev will be three top aides: Secretary of State George Shultz, National Security Adviser Robert ("Bud") McFarlane and White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan. The President will depend heavily on the wisdom and counsel of this small coterie of advisers and a larger supporting cast both in Geneva and in Washington. Any deal the U.S. might conceivably work out with...
...shaping a consensus, National Security Adviser McFarlane, has great expertise in arms control and the will to move quarreling partisans, but he has failed to sway his chief client. Chief of Staff Regan has his boss's ear, but little substantive experience in geopolitics. No-nonsense Secretary of State Shultz is the workhorse of U.S. diplomacy, but he does not always seem entirely sure to what end.

The White House is trying to muzzle Perle as well, last week vetoing his appearance on West European TV lest he make some impolitic remarks. Nonetheless, either Perle or his equally hard-line superior at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of Defense Fred Ikle, is likely to go to Geneva in a backup role. Even from a remote perch, the Defense Department hawks are sure...
...regarded by some Western diplomats as the most able Soviet arms negotiator. In a decision that may be indicative of the impending changes in the Kremlin foreign policy team, Kvitsinsky and not Karpov was summoned to Moscow to prepare for last week's visit by Secretary of State George Shultz. Kvitsinsky was also chosen to accompany Gorbachev on his outing to Paris, and he may be on hand when the General Secretary comes face to face with Ronald Reagan. --By Ed Magnuson.
