Reagan's final speech in his current defense crusade is expected to offer a recommendation concerning the much disputed MX missile. A presidential panel has been studying ways to deploy the new ICBMS, which remain homeless after three years of basing proposals ranging from race tracks to dense packs. The panel is expected to suggest that a limited number of the mammoth missiles be built and placed in existing silos used by Minuteman ICBMs. The panel is also considering calling for a new, smaller missile, dubbed Midgetman, that could be made mobile and thus less vulnerable to an enemy strike...
...recognition that defensive systems could upset the nuclear balance was the propelling force behind the 1972 ABM treaty, the only arms-control pact that binds the two superpowers. It declares: "Each party undertakes not to develop, test, or deploy ABM systems or components which are seabased, air-based, space-based, or mobile-land-based." The Administration says that merely undertaking research into such a project does not violate the treaty. Indeed, the Soviets have been spending perhaps as much as five times the U.S. amount on laser technologies and weapons, although they apparently have not developed such devices for knocking...
...shot down 34 out of 42 test missiles it has targeted. Critics contend the tests don't replicate real-world conditions, because the timing and trajectory of the target "incoming" missiles are known beforehand to those trying to shoot them down. These test "attacking" missiles also don't deploy accompanying decoys designed to confuse any interceptors. Pentagon officials say today's system is needed because rogue states might develop their missiles in secret, and fire them at the U.S. without testing. Each of those questionable assumptions makes it less likely that the missiles would work, but missile-defense boosters...

The only important thing, he pointed out, was how its rulers use the train and whether they deploy it for compassionate purposes...
Alas poor Harry. whatever you think about the wisdom of mounting a complex operation to deploy one inexperienced 23-year-old soldier to the frontline of a controversial war; whether your instincts are royalist or republican; if you are disturbed by the spectacle of Britain's usually tenacious media bowing to the wishes of palace, military and government, and suppressing a story - no matter what your response to the Afghanistan adventuring of Britain's warrior prince, it's hard not to feel sorry...
