...hard-line Kremlinologist who advises Reagan agrees. "While they are not united on domestic policy, except in the need for some kind of reform, they are united on foreign policy," he says of the Soviet leaders. "They really do need a grand detente, and Gorbachev has a considerable mandate to get it." In particular, Gorbachev seems to have the support of the Soviet military. Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev, chief of the Soviet general staff, accompanied Shevardnadze to the meeting in Geneva and, by Shultz's account, was a "key person" in working out the verification measures that clinched the INF deal...

What did all the moving and shaking mean? One thing for certain: less than four months after he took office as General Secretary of the Communist Party following Chernenko's death, Gorbachev, 54, was consolidating his power, as one U.S. Kremlinologist put it, "faster than any previous leader in Soviet history." In April the urbane, affable Soviet leader had gained three new places for his supporters on a newly expanded, 13-member Politburo. The latest shake-up was apparently aimed at giving Gorbachev the same kind of free hand, and perhaps a wider range of policy choices, in his dealings...
