...official in Bonn, Nitze told the West Germans that he had Reagan's authorization to pursue "all possibilities of balanced results." The official left the meeting with the distinct impression that one such possibility might be similar to the proposal that Nitze explored with his Soviet counterpart, Yuli A. Kvitsinsky, last summer. According to that scenario, later rejected by both Washington and Moscow, the U.S. would base 75 cruise missiles in Western Europe while the Soviet Union would pare its arsenal...
Finally, last summer, Nitze took it upon himself to overcome the inertia of the American policymaking process (see box). He embarked on a secret exploratory mission with his Soviet counterpart, Yuli Kvitsinsky. The two men came up with a plan that might have broken the bargaining impasse. Nitze would have given up the Pershing II program altogether and had the U.S. deploy enough cruise missiles to offset a greatly reduced force of SS-20s in Europe The purely military rationale of the Pershing IIs had always been the object of debate and doubt. Their range would not permit them...
...last July, Paul Nitze and Yuli Kvitsinsky were not precisely friends, the American and his much younger Soviet counterpart nevertheless knew each other well. For more than eight months, Nitze, 76, and Kvitsinsky, 46, had been assigned to Geneva, meeting twice weekly to negotiate a diminution of both sides' European missile arsenals, the goal of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) talks.

Rostow, a conservative Democrat, former State Department official and longtime professor at Yale University Law School, came under fire from the White House last summer when he and Paul Nitze, the INF negotiator whom Rostow supervised, recommended that the U.S. pursue an informal proposal that Nitze had discussed with Yuli Kvitsinsky, the Soviet INF negotiator at Geneva. As one Administration official recalls, it offered "the glimmer of a damned good outcome." William Clark, Reagan's National Security Adviser, criticized both Rostow and Nitze for not staying in closer contact with the White House. Nitze responded with a question...
...week, either at the ornate 19th century mansion that serves as the Soviet Union's U.N. mission in Geneva or in the glass-and-steel office building that houses the U.S. headquarters near by. Although the discussions between U.S. Arms Negotiator Paul Nitze and his Soviet counterpart, Yuli Kvitsinsky, are being conducted behind a veil of secrecy, West Europeans have been watching assiduously for any hint, wink or nod that might reveal how the talks are progressing. Reason: one of the most emotionally charged issues of the 1983 international calendar, namely whether NATO will deploy 572 new U.S.-built...
