...just a wide-eyed ten-year-old Maine schoolgirl when she sent a letter in 1982 to then Soviet Leader Yuri Andropov, asking that the superpowers work toward a more peaceful world. After Andropov responded by inviting her to visit the Soviet Union, Samantha Smith became America's youngest goodwill ambassador. Even before her tragic death in a plane crash last August, the Soviet press had portrayed Smith as a symbol of peace-loving American people at odds with the policies of their Government. In the U.S.S.R., a diamond, a flower, a street, a poem and a book have already...

Karpov laid down a proposal in Geneva last fall under which the Soviet Union would give up half of its land-based warheads if the U.S. canceled SDI. There have been some high-level hints that the Soviet definition of cancellation would be a ban on testing and deployment but not on the research phase of the program...
