Much of last week's progress may have been the result of a change in Vance's style. Shelved, at least for Geneva, was the wide-open diplomacy that had so irritated the Soviets during the ill-fated Moscow meeting. Vance avoided almost all contact with the press in Geneva.

More gregarious than Woodcock, a punchier speaker, a hair more liberal, Fraser signals a change in style rather than substance...
