...possible that Reagan is simply driving a hard bargain with the Kremlin, trying to squeeze concessions before agreeing to a deal. He did leave a slight opening by indicating that he would be willing to negotiate with the Soviets before deploying a space-based defense system the hope of persuading them to deploy one too. He insisted, however, not only that research and deployment would continue but that "one day" the system would be tested as well, even if it means revising the 1972 antiballistic missile treaty in order to avoid violating...
...have a much cruder ground-based ASAT system in operation. For their part, the Soviets threatened to break their unilateral moratorium on ASAT testing if the Pentagon proceeded. Ironically, the system that was tested last week is not necessarily the one that the U.S. is most likely to deploy. A ground-based model, possibly using laser technology, is favored by many military scientists...
There it rendezvoused with the Suroit, which had been sounding the water since June 28. The French ship had picked up an important echo that was probably associated with the Titanic.

TASS portentously declared itself "authorized to state" that if the U.S. goes forward with an impending test of an advanced antisatellite (ASAT) weapon, which Gorbachev considers a potential component of a Star Wars defense, "the Soviet Union will consider itself free" not just to test but to deploy its own ASAT.

The Pentagon announced that it would proceed with its ASAT test...

In an earlier decision, the Navy said that eight vessels, including the battleship Missouri, will soon call the San Francisco Bay Area home. Said an elated San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein: "We have always been a Navy town, and now we will be a Navy town all over again...
