...Strategic Defense Initiative. SDI is better known, of course, as Star Wars, President Reagan's futuristic plan for a missile-defense shield that would render nuclear weapons obsolete. "It had already established itself as the most contentious issue on the Soviet-American agenda," says Washington Bureau Chief Strobe Talbott, who proposed a conference on the SDI controversy that would produce a "coherent, focused and expert debate for the benefit of correspondents and editors and, through a special report in the magazine, for TIME's readers." The conference, which took place in Washington on June 3, was the basis for this...
...week's end, when Deaver tried to make his way into the Capitol to defend his actions before a closed-door session of a congressional subcommittee, he found himself at the center of a rising storm over influence peddling in Washington. Reporters mobbed him, cameramen jostled him, and flashing strobe lights so blinded him that he walked right past the committee-room door. "After five months of rumor, leaks and innuendo," Deaver bravely declared, "today is my day." But it was clear that the media's feeding frenzy had just begun and that the capital had been seized...

Washington Bureau Chief Strobe Talbott reviewed the political forces that had converged to make possible Shcharansky's release. An expert in Soviet- American relations and former TIME diplomatic correspondent, Talbott had covered the story of Shcharansky's arrest and imprisonment in the 1970s and had recently talked with Shcharansky's crusading wife Avital in Geneva about her husband's plight. Moscow Reporter Nancy Traver was among those visiting with Ida Milgrom, Shcharansky's 77-year-old mother, and his brother Leonid, in a friend's apartment. Says Traver: "She was radiant, smiling and laughing, even though he had been whisked...
...would significantly reduce the total number of warheads on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), which have always formed the backbone of the Soviet Union's offensive capacity. The Soviets now have 6,400 such warheads, while the U.S. has 2,125. Moscow's new formula, TIME Washington Bureau Chief Strobe Talbott learned, would allow each of the superpowers no more than 3,600 ICBM warheads. More specifically, the Soviet proposal would limit what Moscow calls "nuclear charges" (bombs, cruise missiles and ballistic-missile warheads) to 6,000 per side. No more than 60% of that figure, or 3,600, would...
