While 87 nations have signed the treaty, expressing their intent to approve it, the number of countries that have completed ratification will come to only eleven when President Nixon formally puts his name to NPT. The treaty will not come into force until the three participating nuclear powers and 40 other nations have ratified it. That process will take another year or more...
...nature for people to assume that the workings of American parties and American democracy are synonymous.

Although no one can be sure of its intent, the Kremlin has reportedly planned a $25 billion program that would buy more than 5,000 Galoshes. U.S. intelligence has assumed that Galosh is an inferior missile supported by relatively old-fashioned mechanical radars and hence of no major concern to the West at present. Recently, though, Defense Secretary Laird...
