The massacres in the North justify the Ibo cause and condemn the Lagos government. With self-righteous verbal overkill, defenders of Biafra cry that Lagos is waging a war of genocide...
...MISSILES. Discussing the U.S. arsenal of land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, Nixon declared that Dwight Eisenhower left office in 1961 bequeathing to the U.S. a 50% advantage over the Soviet Union. Today, Nixon maintained, U.S. superiority in this "crucial weapon" is only marginal-and diminishing daily...
