Abstract:

Agreement by Moscow to sit down with the U.S. to thrash out a new framework for future arms control talks signifies neither a dramatic breakthrough nor sudden Soviet willingness to strike an equitable deal on curbing and reducing nuclear arms. Moscow and the U.S. arrive at Geneva with two very different agendas.
