In fact, he repeated the thought in only slightly different language three times, which raised an obvious question: Why bother with an extremely costly defensive system if there were no longer any nuclear missiles to intercept? His answer: "In case someplace in the world a madman someday tries to create these weapons again." White House aides hastened to correct the President, who later backtracked to say that if the Soviets would...
