In the spring 1975 issue of Foreign Policy, for instance, he urged that the U.S. temporarily suspend further development of some of its advanced weapons in order to set an example the Soviets could emulate. His assumption that "the chances are good that highly advertised restraint on our part will be reciprocated" by the Russians can be challenged, since they failed to respond in kind to the U.S. reduction in real military spending from...

You may indeed consider me a baiter, but in fact I am only saying that such big words as used by PLP in its dissertation on free speech normally constitute a courageous commitment.
