to know. 40 years ago, today, in 1985. President
Ronald Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev
met in Geneva for a breakthrough summit that
opened a new chapter of candid dialogue on nuclear
arms and human concerns. Their willingness to
engage in direct, respectful talks set a hopeful
precedent for de -escalation and cooperation,
shaping later agreements and easing global tensions.
