...speculation that Gorbachev would stir up a bit of excitement by announcing a unilateral withdrawal of some Soviet troops -- perhaps as many as 75,000 -- from Eastern Europe. Such a move would be consistent with the Soviets' vigorous courtship of Western Europe. As the Soviet Ambassador to West Germany, Yuli Kvitsinsky, put it last week, the Kremlin is eager to replace "the image of the enemy" with "the image of the friend...
Blessing's jumping-off point is the real-life chat between U.S. Negotiator Paul Nitze and Soviet Delegate Yuli Kvitsinsky, as they strolled in private during arms-control talks in Geneva in 1982.

Back in Washington, Perle and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger led a successful campaign to repudiate the deal and reprimand Nitze...

Kampelman, who relished the chance to out- stonewall a master stonewaller, told Kvitsinsky, who was now serving as one of Karpov's deputies, "Yuli, I don't see why Victor is so alarmed." Kvitsinsky replied, "Well, I'm alarmed that you are not alarmed...
