Using a mathematical model, the team simulated the effects on the earth's atmosphere of a projected fleet of 500 SSTs operating for eight hours...
Four years ago, Columbia Sociologist Charles Kadushin and a fleet of researchers decided to find out. On the arbitrary and probably wrongheaded assumption that an intellectual is a generalist who writes literary or social criticism, Kadushin eliminated the hard scientists, theoretical physicists and mathematicians. He narrowed his field to 8,000 humanists and social scientists from leading schools who had contributed articles from 1964 to 1968 to the top 22 intellectual journals...
...fighters of the Greek air force that were to provide more than 15% of the combat planes available to NATO'S southern command (Greece, Turkey, Italy and the U.S.); and the Greek navy's seven submarines and 13 destroyers and destroyer escorts that helped the U.S. Sixth Fleet in maintaining a balance in the eastern Mediterranean with the increasing Soviet naval presence. No longer will the movement of Greek troops be coordinated by NATO, nor will they participate in joint maneuvers and training exercises. It is even possible that Greece will withdraw from the alliance's computer...
...exist in Greece under a bilateral Athens-Washington treaty not directly related to NATO. Greece could break the treaty, though at week's end, it had given no indication that it would do so. Loss of the sites would deprive America of its antisubmarine warfare base and Sixth Fleet resupply facilities at Crete's Suda Bay (described by one U.S. officer as "one of the best natural harbors in the world"). It would also mean giving up bases on Crete and near the Bulgarian border, where tactical nuclear warheads are stockpiled...
...NATO and American tactical capability do not go unnoticed by Moscow. While the Greek defection from NATO will certainly not encourage the Soviets to launch an all out war-U.S. nuclear retaliatory force prevents that-it could embolden the Russians in the Middle East. For example, the Soviet fleet might be tempted in a future crisis to blockade Israeli ports or protect the movements of Syrian and Egyptian warships from Israeli forces. What could be even more disruptive to East-West stability, Russia -despite détente-might dare to intervene in the turmoil in Yugoslavia that is expected...
