Similarly, in dealing with the outside world, Gorbachev seemed bent not on introducing new policies so much as trying to make more palatable the ones he inherited. At his Geneva summit meeting with Reagan, he proved himself an able spokesman for a depressingly familiar set of attitudes, objectives and one-sided demands. The U.S.S.R. might withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, but only if that country remained under Soviet control; the U.S. must ultimately remove all its intermediate-range missiles from Western Europe, even though the Soviets dominate that category; Washington must cancel Star Wars despite a huge Soviet buildup...
...harder work is due to resume on Jan. 16, when negotiators from both nations sit down in Geneva for a new round of arms-control talks. They have two things going for them: last November's Geneva meeting helped set a more optimistic tone for relations, and the summit the two men agreed to hold this year (possibly at Camp David) is bound to concentrate minds in both capitals on reaching some substantive agreement that can be signed by then...
...Charlie Wick's idea a year ago. The USIA director penned a letter to the chief Soviet spokesman, Leonid Zamyatin, about having their two leaders talk to the Soviet and American people directly over television. There was no answer from Moscow. At the Geneva summit eleven months later, Wick was walking offstage from a ceremony when he ran into Zamyatin, whom he had never met "I didn't answer your letter," Zamyatin confessed with a sheepish smile. Replied Wick: "I was wondering if you read your mail." Both men laughed. The spirit of the moment had seized them and, more...
...keep it going. Wick will jet off for Moscow Sunday to begin setting up the cultural exchanges agreed on by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in Geneva. Wedged in among the ideas on sports and arts are some new thoughts for television exposure. Wick is convinced that one of the reasons there has been no major new war for six years is the ability of people to look each other in the eye across continents and either praise worthy achievements or condemn villainous behavior. "Foreign policy is no longer the exclusive domain of the elites," he says. "Telecommunication has made...
...devised a model that integrated the weak and electromagnetic forces into a so-called electroweak force and predicted the characteristics of the W and Z particles. Their theory was experimentally confirmed when a team led by Carlo Rubbia discovered the W and Z particles at the CERN accelerator near Geneva. In 1979 physicists working with an accelerator in West Germany found experimental evidence for the existence of the gluon, the strong-force carrier. Most physicists believed that a theory called quantum chromodynamics, which explains the strong force, would eventually be encompassed with the electroweak theory under one grand unified theory...
