add to cart   close window

The article presents updates from the world, as of October 26, 1985. When U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev meet next month in Geneva, Switzerland, the President intends to bludgeon the General Secretary with polemics about the five-year war in Afghanistan. A more diplomatic approach might bring the Russians a lot closer to ending the war. In another update, a number of Congressionally imposed restrictions ban direct U.S. aid to Chile, as well as the U.S. support for assistance by the World Bank or the Inter-American Development Bank, because of the regime's dismal human rights record.
