...Harvard, Dr. Joseph Schildkraut and his colleagues have devised a urine test that can distinguish types of depressive disorders and hence indicate the best available drug for treatment...
...number of air-launched versions per aircraft in the treaty should apply simply to "armed" cruise missiles; there should be no distinction between nuclear-armed cruise missiles and conventionally armed ones. The reason: it was extremely difficult for spy satellites and other "national technical means of verification" to distinguish between nuclear and conventional warheads on cruise missiles. Therefore on the same principle that the U.S. had made stick in the case of D-and-P, where unMlRVed launchers were "deemed" to be MIRVed for purposes of counting under SALT, all cruise missiles should be deemed to be nuclear-armed...
...days of the negotiations were marked by a stiffening of the Soviet position on some minor issues but by major progress on some more important ones. Gromyko dredged up an old complaint: protective shelters for workmen hardening Minuteman silos at Malmstrom made it impossible for Soviet satellites to distinguish the MIRVs from the non-MIRVs, so the U.S.S.R. might have to insist on treating Malmstrom as an American D-and-P after all. Gromyko also raised for the first time with Vance a number of unresolved issues that had previously been considered secondary and had been dealt with exclusively...
...older, less formidable SS-11s with single warheads. By satellite reconnaissance, the U.S. had kept careful count as the Soviets installed the SS-19s into one-third of the D-and-P silos. Nonetheless, officials in Washington?and particularly at the Pentagon? were worried about their future ability to distinguish MIRVed from unMlRVed rockets when mixed together as they were at D-and-P. The reason: except for a telltale domed antenna, the MIRVed SS-19 silos were virtually identical to the unMlRVed SS-11 holes...
...What is a punk, anyway? Where have you seen safety pins put through leather jackets and chains and clashing colors worn with jackboots? It's nowhere. It's nothing. It's a unique look, deliberately designed to resemble nothing else around it: it is an effort to isolate and distinguish, to glorify and attract attention to an otherwise anonymous and lost self...
