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. The men met more casually as well. Their final informal meeting before last summer's two-month recess took place on the afternoon of July 16 at a mountainside restaurant near the town of Saint-Cergue...
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."

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...
...style, appearance and background, the two chief negotiators in Geneva could hardly differ more. At 74, Paul Nitze is one of this country's oldest and most distinguished diplomats. At 45, Yuli Kvitsinsky is young indeed by the gerontocratic standards of Soviet officialdom. Nitze is elegant and urbane, with a glint of mischievous humor in his eye. The slightly pudgy Kvitsinsky is dour, outspoken and openly ambitious. Nitze is an experienced policymaker who had a hand in drafting his negotiating strategy; Kvitsinsky operates with narrow instructions from Moscow...
