The odds against even the U.S. proposals were high, for, as one conferee noted, if the Russians agreed to let foreign observers nose around the U.S.S.R., it would be "a break with their past more startling than the smashing of the Stalin myth." This was a fact of which Dwight Eisenhower and his Administration were well aware, but they were also aware that, in the search for disarmament and a stable peace, long shots are the only bets that can be made...

At one excited peak he grabbed a martini and fervently cried: "Eisenhower opened the martini road in Geneva!
