1987: Mikhail Gorbachev accepts ban on intermediate range nuclear weapons

Quote Of The Day
"Alexander Solzhenytsyn in his speech accepting the Nobel Prize: 'Violence has no way to conceal itself except by lies, and lies have no way to maintain themselves except through violence. Anyone who has proclaimed violence his method inexorably must choose lying as his principle."
(Mikhail Gorbachev, On My Country and the World )

Glasnost. Perestroika. Detente. Ideas all squandered.

But those ideas are not dead. Like Snow White here, they are merely sleeping, because ideas cannot die.

Someday, a prince will come and reawaken them.
