PRAGUE (AP) -- Reaching anew for peace, President Obama and Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev signed a treaty to shrink their nations'
nuclear arsenals, the biggest such pact between the former Cold War
foes in a generation.

The treaty commits their nations to slash the number of strategic
nuclear warheads by one-third and more than halve the number of
missiles, submarines and bombers carrying them.
