Pithy essays by distinguished commentators including Les Aspin, John Kenneth Galbraith, George F. Kennan, George Kistiakowsky and David Riesman. The authors lament the rising obstacles to détente and argue for a less censorious American approach to the Soviet Union. Riesman, for one, sees the human rights campaign as a threat to further agreements on nuclear weapons.
