Ironically, during his visit Admiral Rickover provoked precisely the superficial ideological response he was urging us to discard. His flirtatious. George Burns manner offended a couple of female students who later griped that he saw women as only pretty faces. Had these two students bothered to look beyond his chauvinism, instead of merely reacting to it, they might have noticed that he was accompanied by a female attorney. This fact, given that the man was born in 1900 and was a ripe 20 before American women even acquired the vote, made him a somewhat progressive member of the pre-Virginia...

The members of the Commission made three basic recommendations. Discard the notion of U.S. strategic inferiority by considering simultaneously bombers, missiles and submarines, deploy 100 MXs, each with 10 warheads, in hardened Minuteman silos, and for the future, move away from Multiple. Independent Re entry Vehicles (MIRVs) towards a small, single warhead missile appropriately dubbed "Midgetman...
...slightly irrational concept that needs all the buttressing it can get. Fashion shows not only describe a look, they perpetuate a myth and keep a fantasy airborne. A designer has to be dead sure of himself and certain of his reputation, like Armani, to take the radical step of discard-big all the trappings and still come away with a full order book. A younger, beginning designer would never take such a risk. And, young or old, most other designers do not want...
