The temptation of surprise attack in a nuclear age was the hope of knocking out the opposing capability.

Arguing that inefficiency within the store is not to blame, Teele and other Coop officials in the three months since the meeting have provided their own answer. If it is correct, the Coop will need help from a number of sources within the University this term to prevent another massive textbook shortage next Fall...
