Paper Abstract: Analyzes coverage by [Time] & [New York Times] of early days of Cold War, 1945 Yalta Conference, V-E Day in Europe, Potsdam Conference, dropping of atomic bombs on Japan, Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech, Berlin Blockade. Paper Introduction: Since late in 1989, when the walls of the Moscow Kremlin began to open up to democratic reform, western journalists have heralded the "end of the Cold War." With such terms as perestroika and glasnost almost as much a part of the western vocabulary as they are the Soviet, a renewed interest is blooming into the origins, legacy, and intricacies of an undeclared war of words, deeds, sanctions, and rhetoric that has lasted at least since 1945. In fact, many western journalists, for example those in Time magazine, laud Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev as the man who brought the walls of the Cold War impasse down (Nelan 26-36). With the advent of what many term to be the end of the Cold War, one is naturally concerned with its beginnings. One way to view the mounting tensions of the early period just after World War II is to examine the press coverage in the United States Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
