Former Soviet Ambassador and Under Secretary General of the United Nations, Arkady Shevchenko the highest ranking offi- cial to ever defect to the West, was the speaker. He is the author of Breaking with Moscow, the explosive story of the spy war between the Soviets and the Free World. Close associate and advisor to Foreign Minister Gromyko, Ambassador Shev- chenko worked with and knew all Soviet leaders individually, from Khrushchev to Gorbachev. He said all the leaders before Gorbachev were of the Stalin-line, but with Gorbachev in power, there was more open- ness in the Soviet Union. Ambassador Shev- chenko expects nothing more from Gorba- chev, because the Politburiro won't permit it. Shevchenko also discussed terrorism. He sees Russia as the root of all terrorism, but they shield themselves from itf' he said. J. Walker Whittle said, Mr. Shevchenko was one of the most congenial men and very cooperative. He summed up Mr. Shev- chenko's speech by saying, He gave us an insight into the Soviet mind.
