But that deadline could be postponed because of the divergent views of the arms control agency, the State Department and the Pentagon. As one beleaguered combatant puts it, "The Soviets rank about...
...Harvard students and those like us who can bring these changes about. Until we do this the chance of dirty little wars fought by the lower classes remains alive, as does the confusion of militarism with patriotism and all the many other misconceptions of ideology which have arisen from the separation of young, perceptive, free-thinking minds from the military...
