From the Guardian:

RUSSIANS ANNOUNCE NUCLEAR FREEZE

From Martin Walker in Moscow and Hella Pick in London

/* quoted w/o permission */

	Mr. Mikhail Gorbachev last night announced a Soviet freeze for the next
months in the deployment of nuclear missles in Europe, as an act of goodwill to
give the Geneva negotiations a new momentum.  The future of the freeze after
November would depend on Nato's response.
	Mr. Gorbachev's statement makes a US-Soviet summit later this year a
near certainty.
	The arms control dimension of Nr. Gorbachev's initiative was
immediately rejected by the White House as a rehash of earlier proposals which
would leave the Russians with an overwhelming superiority in medium-range
nuclear missles.

/* a lot more, but you get the jist. */

Yet another potential peace initiative from Moscow.  Scorn from Washington as
the present administration drives for mythical nuclear superiority.  Just
what we've come to expect.

The cameras are still on, let the show begin!
I want to hear them scream, until I'm deaf with pleasure!  I want to see their
limbs twist in excruciating pain!  Ultimately, their blood must gush and
flow through all the gutters of Varos!
