...SALT I limit on missile launchers will expire in October. For nearly five years, negotiators have been seeking some broader formula for a long-term ceiling on strategic weapons. At the Brezhnev-Ford summit at Vladivostok in November 1974, the two leaders agreed that a SALT II accord should limit each superpower to 2,400 strategic nuclear delivery vehicles-including missiles and bombers. A final draft of the SALT II treaty seemed imminent, but complications arose. Many American advocates of arms control pointed out that the Vladivostok ceilings were so high as to contribute almost nothing toward reducing existing nuclear...
...atmospheric explosions and have detonated all their atomic devices underground-a restraint conspicuously ignored by France and China (India tested its nuclear explosive underground). Carter now wants to extend the 1963 ban to subterranean testing. The U.S. and the Soviet Union have already negotiated two partial underground bans. An accord signed in mid-1974 bars underground nuclear blasts greater than the equivalent of 150 kilotons of TNT -about ten times the force of the Hiroshima bomb. A second agreement, concluded last May, regulates underground nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes, such as excavating and mining. Both treaties are still awaiting Senate...

It was hoped and by some believed, that the vast majority in this country would opt to develop a nation undergirded by tolerance, forgiveness, non-violence and love...
...original massacre scene in order to convince White Russians-who soon captured Ekaterinburg-that their goal of a royal restoration was hopeless because the Tsar and his family were dead. The two journalists conclude that there were not enough bullet holes or bloodstains in the murder room to accord with the gunshot deaths of seven people. In their opinion, the women were spared for a time. Alexandra was a cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm and King George V, and there is evidence that the German Emperor was bargaining with the Bolsheviks to gain her freedom. The book buttresses the theory that...
