Although Brezhnev says that "the forces of either side in sum total approximately equal each other," NATO remains outgunned and outmanned by the Warsaw Pact in the strategically crucial central and northern European regions. This remains true despite the West's recent program to upgrade its forces. Facing NATO'S 7,000 tanks and 2,700 artillery pieces, for example, are 21,000 and 10,000, respectively, for the East.

The septuagenenan senior partner in the firm of Johnson-Burgee is a lean immaculately turned out dandy with a merrily cackling laugh, a tongue like a sjambok and a power over taste that no other architect can equal. "Old age," he says, "is the most important single thing to have. You just thumb your nose at the world and go about your business. We take about 10% of the work that comes into the office, and the rest we turn down " Johnson-Burgee and I.M. Pei & Partners...
