...nimble, fast-deploying outfit? The Pentagon's reluctance earlier this year to send the Army's AH-64 Apache helicopter gunships into battle over Kosovo showed how quickly cold war weapons can become irrelevant.

The service is weighing replacing the mammoth 70-ton M1 tank with lighter--perhaps even wheeled--vehicles. It is considering the possibility of cutting production of its $48 billion fleet of nearly 1,300 Comanche helicopters, a program conceived a generation ago to battle the Soviet military...
Restoring an American consensus on reducing the dangers posed by nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles is among the most vital and complex challenges our leaders face. It will be a central priority during the remainder of this Administration and will surely preoccupy the next...

The size of the office complex rivals that of any other occupant of an endowed chair at the University, with a large lobby and waiting area decorated with choice artwork, generous plaques and panoramic photography of Harvard football. Nearly every piece on the four walls of the lobby is related to the Harvard-Yale game; a painting of a Harvard receiver pulling down a pass against a Yale defender; a faded black-and-white photographer's rendering of the 1911 Harvard...
