   Remember the historic summits between Reagan and Gorbachev? You could
   almost feel the Cold War thawing and the global warming in
   international relations. That's why I love this quote from Sarah
   Mendelson at the Center for Strategic and International Studies
   (CSIS):
   
     Q: Why do you think the American public should be interested in
     this summit?
     Mendelson: I don't think the American public will be or necessarily
     should be. There are so many other issues before the United States
     right now... I think, you know, for us, there are so many other
     issues going on. It's kind of a reminder that Russia is out
     there....

   For more on the summit check out the [1]CSIS press briefing and the
   [2]CFR story here.
