GRAHAM K. ALLISON JR. '62, dean of the Kennedy School, had good reason to be angry last Monday night. Secretary of Defense Harold Brown's soporific advertisement for SALT II--beamed live and in color to the largest crowd in the K-School Forum's history--had suddenly gone haywire.

If Vance succeeds, and the Russians agree to tinker with the command structure, deployment and definition of the brigade, then Americans will have to live with the uncomfortable knowledge that in the overblown Cuban crisis of September 1979, Soviet flexibility rescued the U.S. Government from its own clumsiness.
