Glenn at first concluded that the U.S., by using spy satellites and listening posts on the U.S.S.R.'s border, could sufficiently monitor Soviet compliance with the arms pact. But he no longer thinks so. At Groton he said that because of the loss of two CIA intelligence-gathering stations in Iran, "very serious doubts have been cast on our ability to adequately verify the agreements." In the deleted portion of his speech he was going to add that there are major problems with the substitutes the Administration is considering for the lost listening posts.

...submarine Ohio launched a new era in nuclear warfare. Regarded as one of the world's most sophisticated weapons systems, it is the first of a planned fleet of 13 Trident A-subs. In size alone the Ohio is staggering: its 560-ft. length is five feet longer than the Washington Monument, and its 18,700-ton displacement nearly equals that of World War II's Yorktown-class aircraft carriers. Equally monumental is the ship's $1.25 billion price...

Ten years after Woodstock-and nearly a quarter-century after the Village Voice was launched as an alternative to New York City's conventional dailies-the alternative press has become so established that it is very nearly Establishment itself. Gone for the most part are the radical polemics, scatological prose and serendipitously amateur design that were staples of underground journalism. In their place are entertainment listings, movie and record reviews, consumer buying guides...
