...plunge seems to reflect in part the public reaction to the leadership change within the coalition government. Last October, under the terms of a power-sharing plan worked out by Labor and Likud after the elections of 1984 resulted in political deadlock, Peres and Shamir swapped jobs. The intellectual Peres tends to fare better in the polls than the scrappy Shamir. In January, Peres' approval rating was 70%, Shamir's 49%. Although the Prime Minister was recently elected leader of the Herut Party, core of the Likud bloc, Smith says that a new poll due out in several weeks will...
Turn-to scenarios posit that either party could turn to a fresh alternative, in the midst of a messy primary season or as the result of a deadlock leading into the conventions. Both front runners are vulnerable: George Bush still exudes weakness even as his boss recovers from Iranscam. Gary Hart's nominal supporters, according to last week's New York Times/CBS poll, are not committed to him yet, and old questions about his character are likely to resurface, at least temporarily, when the campaign heats up. Both parties have growing lists of challengers who seem likely to command...
From there, the ruggers battled Northern Virgina to a 0-0 deadlock to tie for third place...
...negotiated as soon as possible, independently of SDI, in accordance with the lines of the understanding laid out in Reykjavik ((presumably with the additional feature of priority cuts in silo-based MIRVed ICBMs)). I believe that a compromise on SDI can be reached later. In this way the dangerous deadlock in the negotiations could be overcome. I shall try to analyze the ideas that led to the package approach and demonstrate their unsoundness. I shall also attempt to demonstrate the unsoundness of the arguments in favor of SDI itself. I'll begin with the latter...
This then is the choice, either insistence on the package approach and a continuation of the arms race at existing and growing levels, combined with inevitable deployment of SDI, or abandonment of the package approach, which would permit an escape from the Reykjavik deadlock. Of course, in the worst case ((SDI deployment)), which I do not believe likely, a new round of the arms race would begin with the U.S.S.R. replacing silo-based missiles with mobile ones. Even in that event, I do not believe that the strategic position of the U.S.S.R. and the stability of the international situation would...
