...more than 2,500 warheads on its ICBMs. That is about 3,000 fewer than the Soviets are allowed under SALT II. Yet it is nearly 350 more warheads than the U.S. has on its own Minuteman and Titan ICBMs. The U.S. force of land-based warheads could expand even as the Soviet one would be required to contract. Meanwhile, there would be no restriction on bombers and cruise missiles, weapons in which the U.S. has an overwhelming advantage both numerically and technologically...
...development, small management, and consulting firms which rely on the resources and manpower of the two universities. Most recently, genetic research firms have shown a great interest in Cambridge. Four firms are trying to locate in the area, and one Biogen, has already moved in and is planning to expand its operation in Kendall Square...
...have received an answer. We are seriously concerned about the developments. If the Arab countries do not join forces and repulse the aggressor-and, of course, they need tune to do so because of the unexpectedness of the attack-then at some point in the future the conflict will expand. In short, we stand on the eve of a new Arab-Israeli war. The superpowers have got to head it off, just as we stopped the massacre in 1973. Our fleet is standing by in the Mediterranean. So is the American fleet. Both are moving in the same direction, toward...
...replenished by fresh water, it will get salt ier, its freezing point will drop, and the icecap will begin to melt, possibly starting a global warming trend. Other scientists fear that just the opposite may occur: as the flow of warmer fresh water is reduced, the polar ice may expand. In any case, British Climatologist Michael Kelly of the University of East Anglia sees an ironic consequence: changes in polar winds and currents might reduce rainfall in the very regions to benefit from the river...
...beyond deterrence. I think that it is true that we have to deter the Soviets from striking the the United States with nuclear weapons or giving them an opportunity to think that they're in a position to do so....The problem is that we try to sort of expand the usability of nuclear weapons, and it's a recognition of that that has also been a contributor to precipitating this concern about nuclear weapons. Taking it from deterrence, specifically, into the general area of diplomacy, with limited nuclear war, for example, creates opportunities for slip-ups. And those slip...
