...People are destined to disagree forever about Star Wars and the nuclear freeze. But these people can unite on this program of actions to reduce the risks of nuclear war," said Allison, who was recently named special adviser to Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger...
Calls for restraint often precipitate panic in this country--panic by special interest groups. How many times have we heard that student aid cuts would "devastate" higher education as we know it?

...concerned, if you can identify the people responsible, then you should act against them," Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger told TIME last week. But he hastened to add, "I don't know if anybody has a clue who is responsible. That's probably your greatest problem in terms of fashioning a response." In the murky world of Middle Eastern terrorism, sorting out who is who and who is to blame is a difficult task. U.S. intelligence is notoriously poor in the region. The CIA has been unable to penetrate successfully the clannish and secretive extremist sects. Furthermore, if Berri does...
