...Geneva summit. We welcome the summit. It's better to meet each other than not to meet. But we do not have high expectations. It is difficult to pass judgment on the Soviet proposal to reduce their missile strength by 50%. It seems that this is a rather good proposal. However, as to whether the two sides can reach an agreement on this proposal, we will not pass any judgment now, nor will it be easy to pass a judgment. Even if there will be an agreement on a 50% reduction, I don't think it will help solve...

The military bands and effusive bear hugs, however, could not mask the fact that the Sofia summit resulted in little more than Kremlin posturing in advance of Gorbachev's November meeting with Ronald Reagan in Geneva.

Yet that exchange, paradoxically, might indeed mark a new direction for superpower relations. Even though the opportunity of a bold stroke for peace may be squandered, the summit...
