Burt had been refining the State Department option. The result was similar in many respects to the walk in the woods, with the important exception that the U.S. would retain the right to deploy the Pershing II. Weinberger did not want to budge. "We're doing fine," he said at an NSC meeting in mid-August. "Our position is already a good one. If it's not broken...
Even as U.S. cruise missiles were being delivered to Greenham Common last week, the authoritative Jane's Defense Review, a London publication, confirmed that the Soviet Union was expected to deploy its own advanced version next year.

Reagan informed Congress of the invasion of Grenada, as required by the law, but refrained from indicating compliance with the 60-day requirement. The Senate voted...
