...leads in the miniaturized guidance and propulsion systems for cruise missiles. Partly for that reason, the Soviets first wanted to ban SLCMs in START and later subject them to stringent limits. Some American military experts have argued that SLCMs are among the nastier creatures to emerge from the Pandora's box of nuclear weaponry, and that the U.S. should agree to ban them. They predict that the U.S.'s technological edge will prove temporary, while the geographical "asymmetries" between the superpowers are permanent -- and favor the Soviet Union. Key American cities and military installations are near the coasts, therefore easy...
...feature in the American proposals of late 1985 came as an unpleasant surprise to the Soviets, and to many in the U.S. as well. It was a move to ban mobile ICBMs, including single-warhead missiles like the planned Midgetman. The prohibition was shoehorned into the U.S. position at the behest of Perle and the Pentagon.

Two California courts agreed with Greenwood, but last week the highest court resoundingly rejected his argument...
...Senator Alan Simpson calls him. But conservatives too know how prickly he can be. Ask Ronald Reagan. Negotiating arms deals with the Kremlin is one thing; getting them past Helms is something else. Helms is not just committed to causes, he is consumed by them. Consider his fight to ban abortion. "Sure I'm obsessed with it," he says, "and I'm absolutely certain I'm right, and nobody's going to change my mind...
