Majority Rule. How would the committee decide whether to squeeze the nuclear trigger-the key question of all? Said Norstad: "In the interest of prompt decision, the committee, and through it the alliance, should be ruled by the decision of the majority.

Massachusetts Senator Leverett Saltonstall, 71, is lucky to be a Yankee: he comes from a state where the locals appreciate thrift.
