PEPSICO, SOVIETS CLINK GLASSES ON DEAL

Swapping soft-drink concentrate for vodka and merchant ships, PepsiCo Inc. on Monday signed a $3 billion barter trade pact with the Soviets that it called the biggest, longest-running agreement ever concluded by the Kremlin with a U.S. company.

"President Bush and President Gorbachev should during their meetings have Pepsi and Stolichnaya on the table to remind them what good agreements are," said PepsiCo Executive Committee Chairman Donald M. Kendall. - Los Angeles Times
