...defense chiefs in Brussels authorized the creation of a flotilla of destroyers that will be on constant call to speed to any crisis in the Atlantic area. And the ministers finally laid to rest the old doctrine of immediate massive nuclear retaliation in case of a Soviet ground attack. They officially adopted a strategy that has actually been the policy of NATO field commanders since it was first propounded in 1962 by Defense Secretary Robert

Back in 1963, for example, a book review by Marcus Raskin persuasively rebutted those members of the military establishment who urged a continuing accumulation of nuclear weapons. Raskin's case was all the more convincing because it was coolly and rationally made. Rationality was not in evidence in the latest issue of the Review when Noam Chomsky, linguistics professor at M.I.T., offered his comment on the military establishment. Rehashing the recent Washington Peace March, he called the Pentagon the "most...
