...another, they may be worried by U.S. advances in multiple warheads for missiles. In recent years, Moscow has tripled its long-range missile force, is now very close to parity with the 1,710-missile U.S. arsenal; American multiple-warhead missiles would again put parity well beyond their immediate reach, and undoubtedly prompt them to embark on a new race to catch up. Finally, a disarmament-minded faction within the Kremlin, led by Kosygin and other economic planners, is believed to have won out for the moment over the generals and the "metal eaters" by arguing that the arms race...
...unlikely that the bill will reach the Senate floor, at least in a session when most politicians are plumping for stiffer crime controls to get votes. It is just this connection between crime and death sentences that the testimony sought to discredit. After Delaware, for example, reinstated capital punishment in 1961, there was an increase rather than a decrease in the number of murders.

Ojukwu himself admits that if the war turns into a guerrilla fight in the bush many of his army officers "are not tough enough for that." But the Biafrans apparently choose to die from starvation rather than reach an agreement with the federal government that might expose them to another slaughter...
...classic example of underestimation," says Martin Gainsbrugh, chief economist for the National Industrial Conference Board, "is the Trillion-Dollar Economy." In terms of gross national product, the U.S. was not expected to reach this thousand-billion-dollar mark until about 1975. It now appears that the figure will be achieved either in 1970 or 1971. And a tremendous number of business and economic decisions rest upon accurate estimates of the G.N.P...
