- AT THE JUNE SUMMIT, DON'T OFFER HIM A MARTINI. Mikhail
- Gorbachev's health is of more than morbid interest to U.S.
- strategists. Analysts at the C.I.A. and State Department are
- now convinced he's a mild diabetic. They believe he developed
- the disease in his 40s and controls his blood sugar by taking
- tablets rather than insulin injections. He has been advised to
- watch what he eats and to avoid liquor, which may account for
- his strong dislike of vodka -- and his campaign to stop his
- countrymen from knocking back so much of it.
