...Agnew not only insulted Ambassador Harriman and the television news commentators but also, and with more subtle degradation, the intelligence of the American people.

...almost comical how you try so desperately to make the words of Middle America sound dirty. You state: "He speaks with the authentic voice of Americans who are angry and frightened by what has happened to their culture, who view the '60s as a disastrous montage of pornography, crime, assaults on patriotism, flaming ghettos, marijuana and occupied colleges."

First-Strike Theory. As kick-off speakers, the Russians did not make any startling proposals. Instead, they seemed eager for the U.S. to take its turn. The Soviets were probably taken aback by the candor and completeness of the American presentation. As TIME Correspondent John Steele reported from Helsinki, the whole thrust of U.S. tactics is to 1) convince the Soviets of the devastating strength of America's weaponry, and 2) persuade them that the U.S. seeks only a retaliatory second-strike capability that would be used in the event of an enemy attack...
