While some of the earlier protesters had condemned the 300 Soviet SS-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe, the organizers of Thursday's rally have tried to block all mention of Moscow's arms buildup. As a result, what emerged last year as a groundswell of popular feeling opposed to nuclear weapons is now being exploited by West German Communists to bolster an aggressive Soviet campaign to generate Western European opposition to NATO's defense strategy...
...equal to the challenger's does not please him. Holmes Holmes and Cooney are are said to be collecting $10 million each. (Since "lying is commonplace" in boxing, their guarantees are probably considerably less, but their percentages may actually bring the amount to more if the sale approaches the buildup.)

"Limited government" somehow means unlimited defense spending. The endless spending of billions of dollars on soon-to-be obsolete nuclear hardware bleeds the economy and accelerates an already frenetic arms race. By contrast, conventional forces and supplies are either neglected or supplemented by overly-sophisticated and insufficiently reliable material...
