...most important reasons for this excessive caution, several panelists declared, is an exaggerated fear of becoming entangled in another Viet Nam-style war. As he lectures in the U.S., Akins reported, he asks whether the U.S. should fight against a Soviet invasion of Saudi Arabia-admittedly a most unlikely event, but one that in his mind would call for as massive a response as a Soviet attack on West Germany. Said he: "The answer is usually: 'We have to move in, we should move in, we must move in-but we wouldn't move...
...investigators are elated by the results, but they caution that questions remain. For one thing, does the drug have any untoward side effects after prolonged use? It is known that kindred chemicals can produce birth defects in animals. Thus the drug faces at least two or three years of careful testing before it can be marketed.

Given the cost of pioneering the machines-Magnavox has already invested about $80 million, while RCA has spent more than $50 million-both companies have moved with caution.

...forecasts, it will be a session of frugality, retrenchment and caution. Republican conservatives, their numbers strengthened somewhat by the last election, are poised to challenge the President on foreign policy. "We're going to raise hell on Taiwan," pledges Nevada Republican Paul Laxalt. "We're going to be heard on the Middle East." His views are echoed by moderate G.O.P. Newcomer William Cohen of Maine: "We seem to be committed to a course of withdrawal from major parts of the world, which raises questions about our reliability...
