...Tsongas, on the other hand, is a full supporter of SALT, an opponent of the B-1 bomber. He has voted against every major increase in defense spending since he first took office. And now that Brooke's challenge comes from the left, the Senator has waffled over the neutron bomb...
...Gerald Ford would have managed the approval of the Panama Canal treaty more quickly, ended the Turkish arms embargo and sold planes to Saudi Arabia and, at the same time, would have moved ahead with a modest tax cut, kept the B-l bomber, gone ahead with the neutron bomb and the M-X missile and designed an energy policy to encourage new oil exploration and alternate sources without taxing them. All he needed was four more years. It seems that the poor little country boy from Plains, Ga., has managed to get some things accomplished without previous training...

But Tower is a veritable neanderthal. In 1977, for example, the incumbent Senator voted for gas deregulation, deployment of the neutron bomb, development of nuclear breeder reactors, and multinational corporation subsidies through the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.

Besides, the outbreak of the war forced scientists to turn to more pressing matters. Oppenheimer soon went off to direct the building of the first atomic bomb, and the concept of total gravitational collapse was largely forgotten until after...
