...greater concern is the uncertainty over how to deploy MX, the next generation of land-based nuclear missiles. The Ford and Carter Administrations had planned to shuttle 200 MXs among thousands of shelters over a vast tract of Western desert. Reagan scrapped the scheme, proposing to store the first 36 missiles temporarily in existing silos. Congress rejected that idea. Now congressional impatience has hardened to outrage. Last month the Republican-controlled Senate Armed Services Committee refused to appropriate funds for the initial allotment of nine missiles (at $160 million each) until a permanent decision is made on deployment...
...issue at stake is Bonn's support for a 1979 NATO decision to deploy 572 new U.S.-built intermediate-range nuclear missiles in five Western European countries, including West Germany, starting in late 1983. At the insistence of Schmidt and other Western European leaders, the alliance simultaneously called for negotiations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, which began in Geneva last November, with the goal of reducing the number of atomic weapons in Europe. The Europeans hoped that, if the U.S. could persuade Moscow to eliminate the 300 SS-20 missile launchers that could be aimed at Western...
...order to support the fiction of terminal earnestness. This, of course, is the main trick in the repertory of neo-expressionist effects, and Cucchi does it over and over again. The best of his paintings here, The Mad Painter, 1981-82, seems to parody this condition; the rest simply deploy their accepted rhetoric of crudity as vitality. Artists of Cucchi's persuasion, wild pets for the super-cultivated, serve many useful ends. One is the recycling of old 1950s adjectives. "Primeval," "raw," "overpowering," "harsh"-here they are again, ready to go, led by "mythic." What could be more ingratiating...
...first major sign of change came when Italy unequivocally agreed to deploy new U.S. medium-range nuclear missiles designed to counter the 300 Soviet SS-20s aimed at Western Europe. Italy thereby met West Germany's condition that at least one other Continental nation take the new weapons. Though Britain, Belgium and The Netherlands also subsequently agreed, Italy is the only country in which the decision is not being seriously challenged by peace movements...
...keep an eye on South Asia and the Middle East; and in Europe it had to maintain forces larger than those facing China. Hence, Mao concluded, the Soviet Union could not attack China "unless you first give them the Middle East and Europe so they are able to deploy troops eastward." The converse was also true. The U.S. was thus the key to global security. The real danger was the potential victims' lack of understanding of the requirements of the geopolitical balance. It was Mao's core conviction that while our European allies were wavering for various reasons...
