That this attack could occur, in the middle of the afternoon, in a Harvard building, is a frightening reminder that this campus is not safe. The administration must take immediate action to ensure that members of the Harvard community can use all campus facilities without endangering themselves. In the meantime, Harvard students must recognize the risks of walking or studying alone, and take extra precautions...
Harvard sports a major-league attack, spearheaded by ex-Olympians Allen Bourbeau and Lane MacDonald, the team's captain. Throw in Young, who upped his season goal total to 13, Peter Ciavaglia (5 goals, 17 assists, 22 points after last night's game) and a pair of stellar freshman goaltenders, Allain Roy and Chuckie Hughes (22 saves last night and his first shutout), and you have the making of a great team...
Before 5 p.m. there is no security at all. An intruder can freely make his way to the upper floors, where he can wait until the evening, or attack during the day, as the rapist did. The administration responded to the Science Center rape by recommending that office doors upstairs be locked at all times. Yet the administration should not place so much of the responsibility for security upon us. Implicit in its reluctance to improve the present security system is the judgement that further protection is outweighed by the additional cost--a callous analysis, by my measure...
Soviet generals might someday be equally tempted to launch a pre-emptive attack on the radar-avoiding B-2 Stealth bomber, which former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger boasted "makes obsolescent $200 billion worth of Soviet air defenses." Traditional wisdom holds that U.S. bombers are not first-strike weapons, since they would take up to eight hours to reach their targets. But if the B-2 can fly over the Soviet Union undetected, the Soviets could reasonably fear a sneak "decapitation" attack on their leadership. In that case, editorialized Aviation Week magazine, "this new U.S. deterrent might serve to incite them...
...antiballistic-missile defenses, which were themselves considered destabilizing because they threatened the American ability to retaliate effectively. But the Soviets responded with huge ten-headed SS-18 missiles that can destroy the U.S. land-based deterrence. These so-called silo busters offer a frightening incentive for a first-strike attack that, says defense analyst Sidney Graybeal, "makes them extremely destabilizing...
