With so many crucial defense decisions looming in the coming months, it was distressing that Reagan chose this particular moment to introduce his star wars vision of missile defense forces. The issue of altering fundamental nuclear strategies is far too important to be tossed about either for temporary political impact, or in the name of getting the levels of defense spending that he feels ? rightly or wrongly ? the nation so urgently needs.

While he recorded his highest ERA in his three seasons at Harvard, Ivy League batters still hit just .226 against him. Late-season gems like his one-hit shutout of Yale and his two-run, four...
