“People talk about the escalation of the arms race, but |

. Butshe said arms: control id possible, because “the fear of

' Rice said what is needed are U.S, and Soviet leaders who
have “political will” and consistent foreign policies to make

meagures. The superpowers can start by making clits in the
number af missiles such as the Soviet Union's: land-based
