...McCoy's sons taunted an unarmed Ellison Hatfield, and Ellison's riposte was intemperate and unprintable. Seventeen knife thrusts and one revolver shot later, Ellison lay mortally wounded. The eye-for-an-eye-for-an-eye retaliation began: three McCoys were captured by Hatfields under the command of Ellison's brother Devil Anse, tied to a pawpaw bush, and shot to death. The skirmishing ended with the century, after at least 20 (and perhaps 100) men and women had died...
...higher than the budget Jimmy Carter had projected for 1982, yet it charted no new directions; it merely boosted spending, item by item. If Weinberger looked like a prisoner of the generals on the budget, he appeared to be an amateur in rejecting the advice of his high command on the MX missile and vacillating on a new strategic bomber. After much public agonizing, he failed to come up with a mode for basing the MX and proposed that the U.S. develop both the B-l and Stealth bombers. In passing the Defense appropriation bill last week, the Senate accepted...
First, the Reagan program improves the survivability and performance of the warning senors, communication to the command centers, and communications to the strategic forces. It also initiates a research and development program leading to a less vulnerable communication system. I agree that it is desirable to modernize the communication and control system and that it is feasible to provide enhancements. The President is correct in emphasizing the urgency and benefits that are associated with improving the performance of the communications systems, but given the Reagan administration's financial commitment, it remains to be seen how much less vulnerable these systems...
Overall, the President deserves high marks for jettisoning the deceptive-basing Multiple Protective Shelter system for the MX missile, a bold act which opens the way to a proper assessment of the entire strategic posture. His improvement in command and control will provide the basis for a "launch under attack" capability. This will insure against some unexpected Soviet breakthrough which would imperil the other two legs of our strategic deterent, i.e., a breakthrough in anti-submarine warfare or a breakthrough that would imperil the survival of our strategic aircraft. His proposal to develop both the MX and the Trident...
...time in the game--with the exception of the end of the first half of play--was Harvard in command. Consistently, the Crusaders pulled off successful fast breaks and steals, dominated the boards, and also capitalized on Harvard's many turnovers and mental errors...
