Indeed, if any nation came under pressure at the NATO meeting, it was The Netherlands. The Dutch government, skittish about public opinion, has waffled on accepting 48 U.S. cruise missiles as part of NATO's five-country deployment. Dutch officials last week sounded out their alliance partners about scaling back the missile quota. The response: sympathy, but no deal.

And I think, to the extent that it has happened, that's a loss, but there's a gain that's come across as well in terms of breadth...
Hart shot back, "Why have you questioned my commitment to arms control and civil rights, when you know that I have just as much commitment to both of those as you do? The ads illustrate a point. This country cannot deploy young Americans in every trouble spot in the Third World and expect to solve that problem...
