...Paul Nitze has played all the positions in the game," Secretary of State George Shultz declared after the Moscow summit this spring. Indeed, the 81- year-old statesman has been involved in every aspect of nuclear-arms control, from his work with the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey in 1945, when he went to Hiroshima to calibrate the rubble, to his service as senior arms- control adviser to Shultz and President Reagan.

...Party today suffers from a split personality with a rank and file made up of some of the best of America, the silent majority....But the leadership, much of it, is a remnant of the '60s, the new left, those campus radicals grown old, the peace marchers and the nuclear freeze activists...
