...irrelevant act. Mondale and Hart, who squabbled almost nonstop in New York-not least about each other's accusatory TV ads-apparently took their cue from Jackson's success. In last Thursday's debate in Pittsburgh, there was barely a murmur of discord...

Says Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle: "It is a kind of public relations argument to justify the retention of a rather large number of SS-20s in the Soviet Union." In the view of many NATO governments, Moscow would have an overwhelming advantage in Europe if the U.S. accepted Soviet Leader Yuri Andropov's proposal that the number of Soviet SS-20s be reduced to 162 to offset...
