Gorbachev’s U.S. Visit
Berezhkov asks, “Can New Thinking Put U.S., Soviet on a Smoother Path?”
Undoubtedly it can, but feelings are important too. And the pain many of us in the West feel at our country having watched, and allowed, the USSR to swallow half of Europe at the end of World War II has a big effect on our thinking.
I hope that Gorbachev will come to the United States summit prepared to address these feelings and this thinking!
