...once, the logic of the Soviet position was difficult to refute. The politics, however, was more complicated. Pentagon planners were uneasy with the prospect that SALT II???which was supposed to restrain strategic nuclear arms ?might end up, willy-nilly, restricting the development and deployment of some conventionally armed tactical weapons as well.

Those who populated the rolling, semitropical south?especially in the years during and following World War II???were mostly the staid Midwesterners and Southerners who came to buy so many square feet of sunshine, and the blue-collar workers who filled the factories; hence the heavy strain of conservatism that characterizes the region. The third state, running the length of inland California, is largely agricultural and might...
