White House Spokesman Marlin Fitzwater expressed disappointment that the Soviets had launched an offensive instead of beginning a troop withdrawal. In a White House statement, President Reagan congratulated Mikhail Gorbachev on being named TIME's Man of the Year, but he also called on the Soviet leader to announce firm plans for a pullout. The State Department, though, speculated that Moscow may be planning to withdraw even as the fighting intensifies. Said one official: "It's entirely possible that the Soviets are planning to shorten the withdrawal timetable while the military people in Kabul are plugging away...
...Islamabad will then present their views to the Soviets when United Nations- sponsored peace talks resume in Geneva, probably in February. While the U.S. and the Soviets both hope that the round will be the last, each side is holding to its position. The White House wants Moscow to withdraw completely in less than a year; the Soviets say they will do so only after the U.S. and other countries stop aiding the rebels...
Typically, SAD sufferers become clinically depressed with the approach of winter. Besides gaining weight, oversleeping and being listless, they withdraw socially, lose interest in sex and feel anxious and irritable.

But even though angry mobs are rarely battering at their doors, today's banks and thrifts are being rocked by tremors just as dangerous as those of half a century...
Moreover, given the still preliminary state of the program, Reagan has little need to violate the narrow interpretation right away. Having won the President's commitment not to withdraw from the ABM treaty, the Soviets are content to wait and deal with the next President on the question of what the treaty means. Yet it would be a mistake to assume that they have totally delinked SDI from the question of strategic arms reductions. In his Friday press conference, Reagan flatly stated that Star Wars now offers "no impediment" to a START agreement. That view, however, was openly disputed...
