- <p> In the bad old days before glasnost, some Soviet arms
- negotiators typically wound down from a tough day at the
- bargaining table with a liquor-soaked, showgirl-ogling foray
- to a Western nightclub. Today's post-glasnost Soviet diplomat,
- however, displays a greater sensitivity, in no small part
- prompted by dealings with tough and informed female U.S.
- negotiators during the long workdays. But with progress come
- some awkward moments. Last month a top Soviet delegate to the
- Strategic Arms Reduction Talks in Geneva rose to bid goodbye
- to an American counterpart, a young blond woman. Struggling for
- an appropriate send-off, he confided, "I would just like to say
- we will always remember you for your...warhead counts."
