...Trident submarine. The navy is spending $30 billion to build 12 of these 600-foot-long subs to hold one-third of the country's nuclear arsenal. For the price of a dozen Tridents, the navy could, according to some calculations, deploy 110 smaller, more maneuverable conventional submarines--many versions of which already exist to carry twice as many missiles and force the Soviets to locate nearly 10 times as many subs...
...deploy rational argument against such dreck? Professor Dominguez's own confession to an "antiquarian and deeply sexist" bias is the same horribly coy refusal to tackle his own destructive prejudices that I have seen again and again among men his age. It has probably constituted the Harvard faculty's most powerful--because unanswerable--defense against what it perceives as the invasion of hordes of Amazonian scholars, armed with Ph.D.'s (and Lord knows who gave them those), shrill voices, and--worst of all--the gall (shall we say) to call a mild-mannered male professor in his own home during...
...greater concern is the uncertainty over how to deploy MX, the next generation of land-based nuclear missiles. The Ford and Carter Administrations had planned to shuttle 200 MXs among thousands of shelters over a vast tract of Western desert. Reagan scrapped the scheme, proposing to store the first 36 missiles temporarily in existing silos. Congress rejected that idea. Now congressional impatience has hardened to outrage. Last month the Republican-controlled Senate Armed Services Committee refused to appropriate funds for the initial allotment of nine missiles (at $160 million each) until a permanent decision is made on deployment...
...issue at stake is Bonn's support for a 1979 NATO decision to deploy 572 new U.S.-built intermediate-range nuclear missiles in five Western European countries, including West Germany, starting in late 1983. At the insistence of Schmidt and other Western European leaders, the alliance simultaneously called for negotiations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, which began in Geneva last November, with the goal of reducing the number of atomic weapons in Europe. The Europeans hoped that, if the U.S. could persuade Moscow to eliminate the 300 SS-20 missile launchers that could be aimed at Western...
...order to support the fiction of terminal earnestness. This, of course, is the main trick in the repertory of neo-expressionist effects, and Cucchi does it over and over again. The best of his paintings here, The Mad Painter, 1981-82, seems to parody this condition; the rest simply deploy their accepted rhetoric of crudity as vitality. Artists of Cucchi's persuasion, wild pets for the super-cultivated, serve many useful ends. One is the recycling of old 1950s adjectives. "Primeval," "raw," "overpowering," "harsh"-here they are again, ready to go, led by "mythic." What could be more ingratiating...
