...Soviets can achieve their cynical negotiating goals. America's NATO allies do not sit at the table in Geneva, but they do exercise a practical veto over the outcome. West Germany, in particular, is involved in an emotional debate over nuclear arms. While the Soviet negotiations could stall, NATO leaders would find it hard to risk the political heat of accepting the American missiles. "What the Americans need is more skill in presenting their case," one diplomat in Bonn observed bluntly last week. "Let's face it, we're not in a security argument...

"Have some fun," Harvey Kuenn told them in June when he moved his stuff from a coach's stall to the manager's office. They did. Kuenn has a wooden leg and a bad heart, and he squints a bit from the time he tried to catch a home run and his eye got hooked up on a centerfield fence.
