With such multideception, the Pentagon is confident that a significant number of MXs can survive a Soviet attack. Should the President give the order, the missiles could be launched within one minute from the shelters or from the TELs...

To get on a partisan ballot often requires a financial contribution to a political party. A New York judge remembers one candidate coming to him in tears because he could not come up with the necessary...
