after reykjavik, inside the united states, there is astonishment, and beyond that, fear of what reaganed about doing -- banning nuclear weapons. a reagan administration move to sign an arms deal with the soviets was criticized today by former president nixon and former secretary of state henry kissinger. the two men said it would be "a profound mistake" to eliminate all medium-range missiles in europe. many conservatives thought that reagan had been charmed by gorbachev, and reagan actually had more problem dealing with his hard right than he did the left. so reagan had to constantly let the right know, "i know what i'm doing." reagan was being accused already of getting soft on communism, but he hadn't forgotten the problems we still had. europe is still divided, there was still a berlin wall. [ crowd cheering ] there is one sign the soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. mr. gorbachev, open this gate. [ crowd cheering ] mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. [ crowd cheering ] baker: it was perfect. it was beautiful.
