...comes first and is numbered 1, followed by the Soviet proposal, numbered 2; the Russian version has it the other way around. The brackets sometimes embrace a single word or number, sometimes a lengthy paragraph, sometimes a semantic fine point, sometimes a major issue on which ratification itself could depend. Slowly and cautiously, following detailed orders from their respective capitals, the negotiators are chipping away at the brackets that prevent the draft from being a finished treaty...
When Whitney and Piper return as planned within the next month, they may be subjected to Soviet harassment. Whether Moscow takes further action may depend on what Washington does.

In short, almost all Americans are in some way now linked with business concerns. There is a vague understanding that while capitalism is far from perfect and not even very romantic, as Political Commentator Irving Kristol explains, it performs the job of distributing goods and services, and preserving individual freedom, better than any other system...
