...reach the equal levels, the Soviet arsenal would be reduced by more than 1,300 LRINF missile warheads and ours by some 200. For the first time since the 1950s no Soviet LRINF missiles would be deployed in Europe. In Asia, Soviet LRINF warheads would be reduced by more than...
...late as last summer, when Lieut. Colonel Franco Calida took over as military commander and police superintendent in Davao City, Alsa Masa had only seven members. "I told this group to go forth and multiply," recalls the colorful Calida, whose office is a veritable arsenal of guns and grenades. "In a week there were 22, then 40, then 70, then 100 . . ." Alsa Masa, now several thousand strong, imposed a system of checkpoints, armed patrols, covert neighborhood surveillance, "tax donations" and more than a little intimidation. N.P.A. members who have failed to present identification quickly at Alsa Masa checkpoints have been...
...regrettable that such an impressive arsenal of deterrents as marshalls, proctors, video cameras, Harvard ID verification, selected readings from the Resolution on Rights and Responsibilities, police contingents at all entrances of the Science Center (to be followed up by a 40-minute blockade of the building by the police), and the Houdiniesque sneakings-in and whiskingsout of the South African Vice Consul through the secret catacombs of the Science Center, was not enough to secure his rights of free speech on this campus.

Many Europeans remain concerned about Soviet shorter-range nuclear arms. These can be fired up to 560 miles, compared with the 3,000-mile range of the SS-20s, and could still hit West European targets. The Soviet arsenal includes some 500 such missiles in Europe, while NATO has none. The U.S. draft treaty tabled in Geneva includes provisions for NATO to match the Soviets' shorter- range systems. But even if Moscow is cooperative, efforts to equal Soviet strength would require new NATO deployments. That could provoke a painful repeat of the parliamentary debates and ugly street protests that attended...
Hopefully these tactics will cause our enemies to die or, at the very least, make them sad. Either way, having so many potentially painful and expensive leaden objects in our arsenal is the only thing that allows us as Americans to sleep well at night, even though that kid with the stereo through my firedoor keeps me awake anyway...
