Vulnerable Forces. Nonetheless, Christoph Bertram, assistant director of the highly respected Institute for Strategic Studies in London, predicts that if the current Soviet technical development continues and no defense is found, "all U.S. land-based missile forces would be highly vulnerable by the end of the decade." One alternative would be to abandon land-based missile systems altogether?a step that has been suggested by both the Federation of American Scientists and analysts at the Brookings Institution. The idea is also supported by Fred C. Ikle, the chief of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Such a change would...
...ever had to give up flirting, she would "give up altogether." Now it seems that her championship of sometime Photographer Ron Protas, 31, as executive director of the Martha Graham Dance Company has caused several old friends to give her up. Sounding like a rejected suitor, Graham Company Veteran Bertram Ross explained his recent resignation: "Life has always been difficult with Martha.

Automation would allow the Times, for one thing, to phase out Linotype machines (a 19th century invention) and install computers that can set type directly from edited copy.

This suggestion does incorporate the two desires for economy in construction and building only on property already owned. But unfortunately it ignores the aesthetic integrity of the Quad, which would be violated by such a cement monstrosity. No one bid the old field house at Radcliffe a tearful farewell when it came down for Currier House, but Currier was designed tastefully of brick and it was outside the Quad anyway. True, Bertram Hall is old and decrepit, and renovation...
Since Vatican II, a number of U.S. dioceses have adopted formal procedures to readmit estranged Catholics to Communion without judging the validity of their existing marriage. One of the first to do so was Portland, Ore., where archdiocesan chancellor, Father Bertram Griffin, set up a so-called "good conscience" plan seven years ago. Says Griffin: "We were trying to bring canon law and pastoral practice together...
