...giving up can hit the U.S., and not a single SS-25 is affected by an INF treaty. So there's nothing to stop him from replacing every SS-20 he takes out of service with an SS-25 that can hit us easily. What's more, SS-25s can cover the same targets in Europe that the SS-20s have been covering. Given an INF agreement but absent a START agreement, we could end up having more Soviet warheads aimed against us than before and our allies could be in no better shape than they...
...would prevent the Soviets from replacing every two-stage intermediate-range SS-20 they dismantle with a three-stage intercontinental ballistic missile called the SS-25.

"My wife is always saying 'What's wrong with you?' " Cole went on. "You see, every time I hear...
...show, sponsored by the Valiant Air Command, one of several nonprofit organizations in the country whose aim is to restore and maintain historic aircraft, had hoped to re-create the Doolittle raid by getting 16 B-25s off the ground at Titusville. "Folks, we really tried," apologized an announcer, Ted Anderson. "At the moment, there aren't 16 flyable B-25s in America." In the end, they got seven...
