I was not aware of the seminar on Yalta at All Souls College in October 1985 when I referred to the Yalta problem in my article, 'Neoconservative History' [NYR, January 16]. The discussion at the seminar shows how the conference at Yalta in February 1945 still haunts us. It haunts us in large part because there is little agreement on what actually occurred there. The disagreement owes its durability both to the unfulfilled nature of the accords and to misrepresentation of what they were.
