...cannot seem to get it through my head why anyone, except a Communist, would want Red China in the United Nations at this time. Granted that there can be no world disarmament without her, why not wait until Russia has agreed to arms inspection and then insist that Red China also must accept arms inspection as the price of admission? This might even act as a spur for them to put pressure on each other. However, in the meantime, for the free and neutral nations to have to take on faith two such world-conquest-minded troublemakers (when...
Army and Navy strategists insist that what is needed is a finite deterrent, a retaliatory force designed to prevent nuclear war, not to "win" it. Enough Polaris subs lurking beneath the sea ("enough" is estimated at 30), enough Minuteman missiles riding the country on railroad trains or at the ready in underground silos, enough intermediate-range missiles scattered across Europe, say finite-deterrent backers, will convince a potential enemy that even a successful surprise assault promises terrible and intolerable retaliation. Here the relationship is between the number of U.S. missiles and the number of important Communist targets. Somewhere between...
...Reason for the intercept and the warning shots across the bow was that the Ilyushin had strayed inside what the French have marked off as their 80-mile "zone of responsibility" off Algeria.

Many members would insist on a nosey Council, a constant gadfly. Still others would have the Council act as a service group, initiating conferences, information agencies, and prospective-student services. A few students see the Council as no more than a hot-bed of amateur politicos. The Council does have its share of amateur politicians, whose antics create a misrepresentative picture of the organization as a whole. However many Council members, including some of its leaders, find that ambitious college-wide activities provide the best outlet for their ambitions; and this fact produces many of the Council's most valuable...
When von Brentano reaches Washington, Kennedy will have to be blunt. The immediate root of Bonn's difficulties is not Berlin, but Germany's refusal to assume its share of the West's financial burden. In return for the guarantees Kennedy is prepared to offer on Berlin, he must insist on systematic German contributions for economic assistance to underdeveloped countries. The United States is in for a prolonged recession, no matter what Erhardt says, and it is time for the Germans to pick up some of the West's checks...
