...spending on every major EPA program, including the one that she says deserves top funding priority: the new $1.6 billion "superfund" to clean up abandoned toxic dump sites. She has also urged major retrenchments in the Clean Air Act; late last week she proposed a three-year delay and substantial weakening of impending carbon monoxide emission standards for heavy gasoline-fueled trucks. Mistrustful of the presumed environmentalist bias of career EPA employees, she has centralized control. Research scientists now cannot release findings until they have been approved as "appropriate" by four levels of the bureaucracy; public information programs, such...
Recommending a delay for what one member calls the "umpteenth time," the committee drawing up the new constitution in accordance with the Dowling Report decides that Yale students have in the past been under-represented in Harvard student government.

I believe, however, that we do not need to spend $6 billion to develop the MX missile and spend $6 billion to develop the Trident-II missile. If we are going to build an ICBM compatible with the Trident submarine, then we ought to consider seriously putting that missile in silos or deploying it in aircraft, under ground, on small submarines, or the like...
