"The Post-containment Handbook" is a source-book for anyone
concerned about US-Soviet economic relations and the upcoming
debate over their normalization. It is filled with original essays
and key documents charting the history of trade agreements,
diplomatic relations, and human rights issues as they bear on the
commerce between the superpowers. Debate on the issues will heat up
with the September 1990 expiration of the Export Administration Act
- the major instrument by which the United States has regulated
exports to the Soviet Union. The terms of the debate are clear -
the Soviet Union wants to enter the world economy; President Bush
has said that the United States must move beyond containment - and
that he wants perestroika to succeed. Top priority is a normal
US-Soviet economic and commercial relationship. The handbook
contains the text of such documents as the Jackson-Vanik Amendment,
the Stevenson and Byrd Amendments, previous trade agreements
governing credit, COCOM procedures, and extensive excerpts from the
Export Administration Act. Letters, laws, and original essays round
out the documentary portrait of this most important economic policy
arena.

Gorky Park with an American protagonist and a nifty art-history
element. *Third in the Colin Burke series *Enormously authoritative
espionage; author was Newsweek's Moscow Bureau Chief for 15 years.
*Critics have called the series better than Gorky Park. *A terrific
combination of classic espionage and classic private-eye novel;
additionally, the art-history angle will appeal to yet another
audience (particularly women). *An intricately plotted thriller ...
the stuff that keeps readers up well past bedtime - Los Angeles
Times *More than an effective page-turner, this is good enough that
one wishes to call it a fine novel - Kirkus *An excellent thriller,
with clever twists and masterful styling - Publishers Weekly
*Richly detailed and relentlessly suspenseful - West Coast Review
of Books *...series hallmarks such as a strong sense of place and
fast pacing make this a priority purchase for fiction collections.
