James Reston analyzes the Carter administration and Soviet actions over the Cuban presence. He outlines U S aims to press Moscow while avoiding a full crisis, noting Moscow may widen pressure in Eastern Europe and beyond. He details Soviet troop estimates in Cuba and possible U S countermeasures including propaganda and economic steps.
The piece examines President Carter's dilemma over Soviet Cuba and SALT II as he weighs Brzezinski's hard line against Vance's caution. It notes internal White House tensions, Javits's push to delay SALT II, and the stakes for Carter's second term amid conflicting policy advice and possible outcomes.
