Reagan also says that western nuclear-launching missiles and planes are "obsolete and badly in need of modernization," compared to Soviet forces.

By comparison, American technology has in the last 15 years alone produced the multiple warheads reentry vehicle, the Trident submarine-launched missile, the air-launched Cruise missile and Mark 12 and 12A warheads (to be placed on the MX missile).

When she is not working on jokes, she is thinking up TV and movie scripts. Though it received bad-to-middling reviews five years ago, Rabbit Test, her film comedy about the first man to become pregnant, is still returning profits. Now she is preparing...
...didn't play lackadaisically, like we did in some other games," said junior Brian Edmonds. The Crimson offense produced more consistent pressure than in recent contests, except for a third-quarter period when Delaware effectively held Harvard in check. In particular, the Crimson did an aggressive job of grabbing ground balls, a department in which it had been hurting...
