...made by Abe Abrams and his U.S. Army fighting comrades lies the decision made by President John Kennedy last spring to increase the flexibility of the nation's defenses. The main shield of the U.S. remains the thermonuclear deterrent-the strategic missiles and bombers meant to discourage Nikita Khrushchev. But Kennedy holds that the Army must also be ready to fight with gunpowder or with tactical nuclear weapons anywhere from the plains of Europe to the rain forests of Asia.

This is not quite the image that John Kennedy has of himself-as he demonstrated in his speech before the U.N. General Assembly (see THE WORLD). Nor did the true Kennedy come off the presses of Pravda and Izvestia as faithfully...
