While the Administration remained divided over Star Wars, four former U.S. officials assailed the idea in Foreign Affairs, the U.S. quarterly. The critics were former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, onetime National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy, ex-Arms Negotiator Gerard Smith and George F. Kennan, Ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1952. They argued that Star Wars does not "respect reality," chiefly because a leakproof defense is impossible and the attempt to create one could nullify Reagan's effort at reaching an agreement on arms control...
Finally, whenever necessary, professors must re-learn the art of teaching the humanities.

The Palo Alto, Califonia-based company is so concerned about maintaining its computer operations in the case of fire, flood or earthquake that it spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually to operate a duplicate computing center in Loveland. Colorado, according...
...professionals who argue that so-called dedicated systems lose the flexibility and ease of communication that are precisely the most attractive qualities of computers. "It's not so simple as it was a few years ago. You can't just lock up a computer anymore," says Hewlett-Packard's Gerard. An internal letter on computer security distributed at the computer company in 1977 stressed just this kind of "lock and walk" security. However, Gerard says that "with terminals on more than 70% of the desks . . . you're really trying to protect the information now," rather than the access...
