Wide shot of Gorbachev speaking before audience

SOUNDBITE: (Russian low nat sound/English translator) Mikhail Gorbachev, USSR General Secretary of the Communist Party:

"We have involved ourselves in the arms race. We've squandered away enormous material and human resources and we've built up this huge powder keg on top of which we are sitting together with you, waiting and not knowing what will happen to us. This is a process that we should reverse. We should reverse these approaches in politics, in our views on each other. We must, I am sure, look at each other as partners, and not as adversaries."

Tight shot of Ted Turner listening

SOUNDBITE: (Russian low nat sound/English translator) Mikhail Gorbachev, USSR General Secretary of the Communist Party:

"We are confident that American business can do a lot of things in the Soviet Union and we are confident that that interaction would be facilitated to a certain extent, the solution to the problems we are facing. We consider ourselves to be a part of the world's economy. And we feel it is totally wrong to try and engage in a kind of isolationism. That would be wrong from every point of view, especially from the point of view of common sense."
