...newspaper), Tifft--a former writer for TIME--and Jones forcefully make the point that the self-effacing Ochs-Sulzberger clan got one big thing right: the need to protect and nurture the paper entrusted to them. Although this book is light on the financial and business detail that would permit a fuller judgment of the family's management of their trust, the story of the Ochs-Sulzberger family makes one want to join the cheer sent up by former executive editor Max Frankel on the occasion of Arthur Jr.'s accession: "Long live the monarchy...

The Russians have shown absolutely no inclination to modify the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty to permit such a weapon, despite a U.S. compromise position of just one ground-based interceptor site based in Alaska (the second one is slated for North Dakota). China is equally perturbed at the idea, since U.S. allies in the Pacific, like Japan, are certain to clamor for the technology. But there's considerable pressure...
