After five ballets, three state dinners and a liver-taxing marathon of vodka toasts to Soviet-American friendship, Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans and his aides arrived home last week, hopeful that their mission to Moscow would help open a new millennium of trade between the two superpowers. While Stans was busy gaining five pounds from eleven days of Russian hospitality, Soviet-American commerce was likewise growing heftier...
...follow up the Stans mission with some probing of their own. A six-man delegation led by the Minister of Agriculture will tour the U.S. next week to examine American farm products for possible export to the Soviet Union. And a high-level mission is expected to land in Washington early next year in hopes of working out the first official Soviet-American trade agreement since...

They must also confront in some co-herent way the problem of imperialism, Communist or anti-Communist. Anti-imperialist convictions might endanger the Soviet-American detente-a detente which most liberals now exploit as a primary tactic against excessive military spending. The new isolationists ignored the invasion of Czechoslovakia or simply begged the issue by saying American imperialism in Vietnam justified Soviet imperialism in Czechoslovakia. Isolationists assume without question that the U. S. will...
