...first-strike missile." Not surprisingly, the official Soviet news agency TASS accused the Senate of "bowing to unprecedented pressure from the Reagan Administration and the U.S. military- industrial complex." The MX vote had no immediately discernible effect on the talks in Geneva. U.S. and Soviet spokesmen announced that they had reached agreement, as planned, on dividing into three negotiation groups, one each to consider strategic weapons, Euromissiles and space arms...
...show no sign of changing. Gorbachev's Kremlin, like Brezhnev's a decade ago, wants peaceful coexistence and detente, largely so that the leadership can tend to the economy. The U.S.S.R. desires recognition as a superpower, equal in status and privilege with the U.S. It also wants what Soviet spokesmen call "compensation" for various perceived or alleged geopolitical disadvantages and grievances.

Each company listed was still in the Harvard portfolio as of February, according to the ACSR...
Gromyko asked Shultz to pretend that he was on top of a tower in the Kremlin so that he could see, "objectively," how threatening Star Wars looked from that perspective. Reagan has lamented the unofficial American nickname of S.D.I., insisting that its aims are entirely peaceful, while Soviet spokesmen relish using the literal Russian translation of Star Wars, partly because the phrase includes the word war. Since his meeting with Shultz, Gromyko has continued to heap contempt on the defensive rationale for Star Wars. Mixing his metaphors a bit, he has said that if the U.S. persists with the program...
