...season's best episodes (written by Playwright Miguel Pinero and directed by Paul Michael Glaser, the former co-star of Starsky and Hutch), Glenn Frey's song Smuggler's Blues both enhances the mood and comments on a tense story in which Crockett and Tubbs pose as drug dealers to set a trap for a vicious kidnaper. In the climactic sequence, the cops race to defuse a bomb that has been wired to Trudy, the detective who has served as bait. After a narrow escape, the culprit is revealed to be a police lieutenant gone bad. "I can smell...

Large-scale defenses on one side would make the other side less certain of being able to pose a credible threat of retaliation. That would undermine deterrence. In 1972 this principle was codified in the first treaty produced by the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT I), which severely limited the antiballistic- missile defenses of both sides. When Reagan unveiled Star Wars in 1983, he was challenging the assumption that the human race is condemned to rely for its survival...
