...have given careful thought about which way to go. One alternative was shock therapy. Instead we have decided to proceed radically, but on the basis of the special characteristics of our economy. Most Western economists believe we're doing the right thing. We can't just follow someone else's model automatically. There was a time when we tried to impose our model on others. It would be a disaster if we just borrowed blindly another country's model. That's why we think we should take a radical path but without shocks...
...hope the character of the relationship I've developed with the President will permit us to move forward rather than backward in our discussions. When two partners meet, each side has its own interests to look after, and the other side must take that into account. The main thing is to find as much harmony as possible between the two sides' positions. If, in any area of Soviet foreign policy, we're doing something that damages the interests of the U.S., then that policy cannot be successful. If, however, we're able to establish a better balance in our relations...
...only smile. I recently spoke to party members in the electoral district where I was elected to the 28th Party Congress ((scheduled to take place this summer)). I told my listeners: If anyone says to you there are simple solutions to our problems, if anyone promises that such a thing exists, then that person is nothing but a con artist; he's out to deceive you.

It's important...
...group of people gathered in a private room at the Century Association, an elite club in Manhattan, to meet their new boss. They were all senior staff members of the New York Public Library and, not knowing who the new president might be, they were all edgy. For one thing, who could possibly replace Vartan Gregorian, the charismatic fund raiser who had led them out of fiscal ruin? And, of more immediate concern, should they have a drink while waiting? Perhaps not. After all, a leading contender was known to be Timothy S. Healy, a Jesuit priest. Sure enough, when...
Which does not mean the millennium has arrived. For one thing, an intricate verification procedure remains to be completed. Also, START in some ways seems designed to curb the arms race of the 1980s rather than the one that might occur in the '90s; it makes its greatest reductions in the numbers of ballistic-missile warheads, which have been gradually losing prominence to the newer cruise missiles as both sides modernize their nuclear arsenals. Consequently, the cut in total warheads deployed will not be 50%, as often stated, but 30% to 35%. Under some circumstances, there could be no overall...
