...should agree to an orderly, regulated transition from the MAD world of ''offense-dominant'' deterrence to one of ''defense-dominant'' deterrence; while developing and phasing in their defenses, they would reduce their offenses. That scheme, however, leads straight into another dilemma. One side's defenses are virtually certain to appear more ominous to the other side than they are intended. How can the Soviets be expected to reduce their offensive weapons when they need those weapons--and more-- to overcome burgeoning American defenses? Says former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger: ''By asking the Soviets to reduce offense while we pose...
...perfect. In Mexico of late, almost everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. A devastating earthquake last September killed perhaps 20,000 and left tens of thousands in tents and tar-paper shacks around a capital that is already the world's largest metropolis. American officials appearing before a U.S. Senate subcommittee last month publicly condemned Mexican officials for corruption and complicity in drug smuggling. The recent decline in the price of oil, the country's major export, stripped in a single month the already debilitated economy of one-third of its projected foreign exchange.

...evacuated them from the vicinity of the shattered Chernobyl nuclear reactor only half a mile away. They did not know then, and do not know now, whether they will return home in months or years.

According to Sigue Sigue, each advertising track will cost roughly $1,500, and the promotion will also appear on the album sleeve. The point, says Bassist James, is to keep down production costs. Besides, he notes, ''a lot of our records sound like advertisements.'' And now, vice versa...
Faced with a growing epidemic of spray-painted graffiti on local walls and underpasses, the Los Angeles city council has been searching hard for ways to fight back against the unsightly scribbles. The legislators appear to be leaning toward an unusual solution: a 10 cents tax on every one of 12 million cans of spray paint sold in the city annually. Such a measure would provide as much as $1.2 million a year for cleanup efforts and education and prevention programs. Paint-industry officials, understandably upset at the idea, are lobbying against it. ''It's ridiculous to blame us simply...
