Under the rules of the 1979 Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, which both superpowers are observing even though it was never ratified by the Senate, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. are allowed to deploy one new missile system each. Moscow claims the SS-X-24 as its entry, Washington the MX. The Soviets, who now have six types of missiles in their ICBM arsenal, insist that the SS-X-25 is merely an updated version of the SS-13 and thus does not qualify as a new weapon or as a SALT violation. The Reagan Administration has disputed that point several...

They're already past the date when they can drop the course without penalty...
...response would be out of human hands: it would be activated by computer before U.S. commanders even knew that a battle had begun. Fletcher insists that the "hardware requirements" are almost "within the state of the art" now, though 20 years or more might be needed to develop and deploy the battle program...
