...suspension of Struik, or finally take an open stand on the issue of employing a suspected subversive. M.I.T., with $28 million in vital government research contracts, may well expect sharp public criticism for rehiring a man who has invoked privileges against self-incrimination. But if the Institute choses to ban Struik now solely on the grounds of his political beliefs, its academic freedom will have become what local Struik-baiter and Suffolk Court Clerk Thomas J. Dorgan once called "a hackeyed phrase, anyway...
...real barriers to increases in US-Soviet trade far surpass licensing requirements. The "strategic" classification itself is so stringent as to prohibit exportation of anything Russia seeks to import. In addition to keeping out of the USSR anything helpful to Soviet military potential, export controls also ban commodities which could in any long-run, remote way be useful to Red industrial development. Naturally Russia has little yearning for baby bibs and dentures, so there are declared non-strategic.

With a General Electric J-79 engine, the Starfighter has an estimated top speed close to Mach 2 (1,320 m.p.h...
...Soviet proposals marked a significant step forward. For the first time the Russians had not insisted that an absolute ban on nuclear weapons precede any other kind of disarmament. For the first time too the U.S.S.R. had given some indications, hazy though they were, of the kind of international controls it would accept. Perhaps most important of all, however, was the new tone adopted by the Soviets. Said a U.S. official: "Our preliminary reaction is that this is not propaganda but a solid proposal aimed at solving the problem before...
