...cooperation in Europe known as the Helsinki Accords. But for most of the participating diplomats, the main question, at a time of dramatic change in Moscow's top leadership, boiled down to the state of U.S.-Soviet relations. What would happen when the Reagan Administration dealt with the younger, if less experienced, Soviet management team that has been propelled into positions of leadership by Gorbachev since he took power in March? The first-ever encounter between Shultz and Shevardnadze, whose replacement of the formidable Andrei Gromyko came as a shock to most Kremlinologists, was expected to provide at least preliminary...

...Coulter family argy-bargy was friendly but intense, and formative. "For a younger girl with two older brothers, you've got to learn to mix it up, stand up for yourself," says Merrill Kinstler, 41, a stock trader and close friend. "Older brothers are not going to cut you any slack. If you say something stupid, you figure, next time, I'm going to be better at it." Kinstler, an ex-Democrat who speaks with Coulter virtually every day, describes her as "a cat who thinks she's a dog. She's very much a woman, but she likes ... mixing...
