Cohen, Stephen F. | October 10, 1988 issue

The next American president will have , both a historic opportunity and an obligation to end the decades-long cold war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The opportunity already awaits him in Moscow in the anti-cold war thinking and foreign policy reforms adopted by Mikhail Gorbachev since he was chosen Soviet leader in 1985. The cold war is also sapping the U.S.'s economic health, which is as important for real national security as are weapons. In present-day dollars, the U.S. has spent roughly $10 trillion on the cold war during the past four decades. Imagine all the economic, educational, medical, cultural and scientific sacrifices that has meant.
