...challenge to their security entirely unmatched by their offensive or defensive arsenal. These submarines "on station" give the U.S. a guaranteed second-strike capability, a force in being that could reasonably be expected to survive the first blow and retaliate. I believe that the Soviets feel compelled to fashion some sort of "reply" to the FBM submarine fleet; American planning should assume that the U.S.S.R. will press on with an ABM program...

He had a crush on Olympic Sprinter Wilma Rudolph, who didn't respond. In his strait-laced fashion, he married a cocktail waitress and tried to get her to adopt Muslim ways, but it didn't take; he charged in his divorce suit last year that her slacks were too tight.
