LETTERS, Page 8WAITING FOR WASHINGTON
Your cover story "Do-Nothing Detente" (NATION, May 15) is on
target. The U.S. is aimlessly drifting along until it can judge
whether Gorbachev's offers are for real or are red herrings.
Surely, a measure of disarmament is to the advantage of both
America and the U.S.S.R. A political agreement will be honored if
it is in the interests of all.
Ward Fearnside
Wellesley, Mass.
Until there are some concrete changes in the Soviet Union,
President Bush should continue his wait-and-see attitude. If new
breezes are really stirring in the U.S.S.R., they can blow down the
Berlin Wall and eliminate the barbed-wire fences that imprison
Eastern Europe.
Paul W. Barbahen
Forest Park, Ill.
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze appears to be a
man with a mind of steel, possessed at the same time of a credible
concern for peace and humanity. His energy and enthusiasm make you
believe that here is a man of action.
Diana Schwesinger
Portage la Prairie, Man.
One does not have to endorse Gorbachev's ideology to respect
his qualities as a leader: imagination, the ability to communicate
and courage.
Janet E. Mast
Kentwood, Mich.
I voted for George Bush, but what I got was Calvin Coolidge.
Norman Schuyler
Cerritos, Calif.
