...might render the American deterrent vulnerable to a pre-emptive strike, at least in the calculations of many defense planners. The treaty, moreover, does not prevent the U.S. from developing and deploying new weapons that will be necessary to keep pace with the Soviets. If the U.S. tries to extract too many additional concessions from the Soviets, it is all but certain to jeopardize the useful rules and limits already established...
...researchers at Massachusetts Public Health Biological Laboratories have found a way to screen out and concentrate chicken pox antibodies from the blood of healthy people. The procedure is similar to that used to extract gamma globulin for treatment of those exposed to rabies and hepatitis.

Moreover, we are now to believe that to struggle against racism and class exploitation is to use the Black underclass as a political base from which to "threaten--and extract concessions from the society." Such analysis leads one to assume, that if we did not struggle for better jobs and more equality that the Black underclass would be in a much better condition today...
