Further, mutual deterrence would be put in question. Since MIRV would multiply many times the number of warheads either side could deliver against the other, a thin ABM system like Safeguard would not be sufficient to preserve enough of the defender's missiles to allow him to strike back effectively after a massive surprise attack. Thus, the temptation to deliver a pre-emptive strike in an acute crisis like the Cuban missile confrontation would increase. This new step-up in the arms race,* coupled with the Safeguard ABM, would cost the U.S. at least $20 billion and could lead...

Parliamentary observers predict that the bill will pass, probably before the end of the year...

Thompson, an honor student in American Studies from Richmond, announced that the class had voted overwhelmingly to dedicate its commencement to opposition to the war. In addition, he said, 143 seniors had pledged to refuse induction if drafted. "The vast majority of Yale seniors want to serve and protect their country," he said, adding that "patriotism is not dead on the college campus today." But patriotism is not "blind obedience...
