...Satellite. The storm blew up over a U.S. State Department press release bluntly chiding Canada for its failure to equip its jet interceptors and antiaircraft missiles with nuclear warheads, and openly disagreeing with public statements made by Diefenbaker on U.S.-Canada defense plans and negotiations. Drafted "on a lower level," and handled in a manner that Britain's Manchester Guardian called "a foolish piece of hamfistedness." the release was approved by Secretary of State Dean Rusk and issued after only a 30-minute advance notice to the Canadian Department of External Affairs. Furious at both the content and style...
...settled back last week into its normal pattern of vicious, hide-and-seek, hit-and-run engagements. One band of Communist Viet Cong guerrillas beheaded a government provincial district chief northwest of Saigon, and another knocked over a strategic hamlet in the northeast, capturing enough U.S. weapons to equip an entire Red company. With U.S. helicopter crews working overtime, government troops killed and wounded 75 Viet Cong and captured tons of supplies in a sweep through a Red-infested area near the Cambodian border. But the strain of constant combat was beginning to tell on the U.S. chopper pilots. Heading...
...even Charles de Gaulle-could say with certainty what form the Polaris offer might finally take. Kennedy promised at Nassau to equip British nuclear submarines with the missile on condition that the government commit its Polaris fleet to NATO for the defense of Western Europe as a whole (TIME, Dec. 28). The terms cabled to De Gaulle were "similar," Administration officials said; they could not be "identical" without drastic changes in U.S. law. For, unlike Britain, France would almost certainly need U.S. help to miniaturize its own crude warheads, which weigh twice as much (1,543 Ibs.) as the Polaris...
...second reason for emphasizing these differences is the desire to force out into the open what I believe to be a flat failure of Harvard's program of general education, namely that it does not adequately equip the undergraduate scientist or humanist for intellectual discourse with a member of the other world...
...joined the U.S. in NORAD for air defense of the North American continent, one of the liveliest debates up north (though largely unheard down in the U.S.) has been the question of whether there should be nuclear weapons on Canadian soil. Canadian and U.S. airmen consider it vital to equip Canadian interceptors with nuclear-tipped air-to-air rockets, even more important to arm U.S.-supplied Bomarc antiaircraft missiles with atomic warheads. The latest Gallup poll on the subject shows that 61% of Canada's citizens agree. But Canadian External Affairs Secretary Howard Green, a staunch advocate of disarmament...
