Both sets of events might be looked upon as debits in what one top American official calls the "double-entry bookkeeping" that governs U.S.-Soviet relations. For a balanced view of the true state of American-Russian affairs, both sides of the ledger must be examined. In one column are the credits: the nonproliferation treaty, the new cultural agreement, the Moscow-New York air flights, and the decision to hold disarmament talks.
