Many critics question Reagan's assertions of Soviet nuclear superiority, believe the disadvantages of MX deployment outweigh the benefits, and have grave doubts about the feasibility of the Dense Pack basing mode (see following stories). It is roughly the 30th option considered by the Air Force, which long favored the "racetrack" system supported in 1979 by President Carter. This involved shuttling 200 MX missiles on flatbed trailers among 4,600 shelters in Utah and Nevada. That $34 billion plan was buried under a barrage of environmental and political opposition, including that of Presidential Candidate Reagan...
...propose "confidence-building" measures to lessen the danger of nuclear war by accident, like advance notification by each side to the other of all test missile launches. But those ideas only repeat suggestions that Reagan made publicly last June. The President also planned to announce a basing mode for the new MX missile, a decision that certainly would not comfort the Soviets...
...main event of the past two or three years, so far as the New York art world is concerned, has been the "rebirth" of European art-mainly young, German and Italian, expressionist in mode and flirtatiously eclectic in tone. The spectrum of achievement runs from mere operators like Salome to deeply serious artists of the caliber of Anselm Kiefer. The fact that an American audience is paying attention to European painting once more comes as a relief, but before attention gets wholly stylized as fashion, it is worth remembering that England is part of Europe and that some English painters...
...missile is due by Dec. 1. Congress last spring rejected Reagan's "interim" scheme to place the missile in existing Minuteman silos, and it refused to appropriate $1 billion for construction of the first MXs until the Administration could come up with a more suitable basing mode. The Pentagon is expected to recommend "Dense Pack," a controversial plan to deploy the missiles in superhardened new silos very close together. The aim is to protect the missiles through "fratricide": an attacking enemy missile would be able to knock out some U.S. missiles, but then the force of its blast would...
Ripley's signals a small trend among new shows to package a little educational value and, indeed, to use school as a significant backdrop. Voyagers!-exclamation marks appear to be a la mode this year-even ends with a plug to send the youngsters out to the library, where they can get the full scoop on some of the history the show has skimmed. A sort of hybrid of You Are There and the film Time Bandits, Voyagers! (NBC, Sunday, 7-8 p.m.) features Jon-Erik Hexum as a pilgrim from the future who crash-lands in the apartment...
