...made numerous concessions to Mitterrand. Party Leader Georges Marchais and his comrades on the seven-member secretariat have grudgingly accepted policies of economic austerity that have, among other things, imposed wage restraints on their predominantly working-class constituency. After Mitterrand expressed firm support for NATO's decision to deploy new missiles in Western Europe, Marchais dutifully declared that "the Communist Party has wholly adopted the policy of the French government in which we participate...
...director of the Institute for U.S. and Canadian Studies and a man believed to be close to Soviet Leader Yuri Andropov, followed Ogarkov's lead with an authoritative commentary published the same day in Pravda. He offered an equally chilling assessment of how Moscow would respond to the deployment of new American missiles in Europe. To preserve nuclear "equality," Arbatov said, the Soviets "would have not only to add to our missiles in Western Europe but also to deploy them near American borders." The meaning of the final phrase was left deliberately vague, but Western arms analysts thought...

President Carter and others have urged. Now the spreading suspicion that billions are being wasted is chipping away at that consensus. Most of the attention has thus far been focused on apocalyptic strategic issues: How can we best deter or fight an all-out nuclear war?

But only 9% of the U.S. defense budget is spent on nuclear deterrence; the rest goes to the materiel and manpower to fight conventional battles and prevent them from escalating into nuclear exchanges...
...Kohl catalogued a variety of traditional conservative remedies for the social and economic ills of West Germany that arose, he said, during the rule of his Social Democratic predecessors, Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt. The Chancellor's voice rose to a shout as he reaffirmed a decision to deploy U.S.-built Pershing II and cruise missiles in the country if Geneva arms-limitation talks between the U.S. and the Soviet Union fail to achieve progress by December...
