...sides, though, are still far apart on aircraft. The U.S. has proposed that its NATO allies be permitted to maintain on European soil up to 4,700 general combat planes and 500 interceptor craft. These 5,200 planes would represent a cutback of about 1,500 units. The Soviets, with as many as 10,000 more planes in the landmass east of the Urals than NATO, have offered a ceiling of about 8,700. That, says the U.S. negotiator, is a "total nonstarter." There is growing speculation that the U.S. will seek to exclude aircraft from the CFE table altogether...
...American troop levels in the heart of Europe to 195,000 each, with the U.S. allowed an extra 30,000 in bases elsewhere in Europe. The following week Moscow said no, insisting on absolute parity. Last week, faced with demands for total withdrawal of Soviet troops from the soil of several East European allies, Moscow agreed. "We're dealing with historic change," Bush said.

Western diplomats believe the Genscher plan will eventually carry the day, with Moscow reluctantly going along...
...ratings. True, he wanted to show his support for Colombian President Virgilio Barco's war against his country's entrenched cocaine processors. He also had some serious fence mending to do with Latin leaders aggrieved by the Panama invasion. But while the Cartegena drop-by took place on foreign soil, it was designed for domestic consumption. For Bush to score points at home, all he had to do was go a few rounds on the Medellin cartel's turf and come back alive. His bold posture is working: 60% of Americans polled last week by TIME/CNN approved...
