The Soviets recognize that what is now happening between us is of historic proportions. They believe that détente is dead for the foreseeable future.

...Rockettes doing a saber dance. Back in 1958, the great New Orleans rocker Huey ("Piano") Smith wrote a clownish cold war ditty that included the lines, "Like I said before, you can be certain/ You have rockin' behind that old Iron Curtain." Huey might be cheered to know now that it is there for sure and maybe for good. Even though he might not recognize it.
