...many taxpayer organizations claimed. Local zoning and state laws greatly restrict the district's ability to rent any building to profit-making companies. Tearing the buildings down and selling the valuable land is equally complicated. It is also a source of concern to parents who believe-with some reason-enrollments may one day increase and the buildings will be needed for students again and could not be duplicated or brought back at anything like present prices. Because most of the teaching staffs will simply be transferred elsewhere in the district, Evanston will save only about $150,000 in upkeep...
When Amtrak was created eight years ago there was hope for improved U.S. passenger trains, and there was even some progress. But now, with the country still needing to do a great deal better, it stands at the verge of deliberately doing worse. Reason: a Department of Transportation plan that would amputate 12,000 miles from Amtrak's 27,500-mile system. It would also wipe out some popular trains, including the Washington-New Orleans Crescent and New York-Canada Montrealer. This would be accompanied by slashes in Amtrak funds, forcing the company into offering truncated services at higher...
...range limits on ground-launched and sea-launched cruise missiles in the protocol and restrictions on the number of air-launched versions per aircraft in the treaty should apply simply to "armed" cruise missiles; there should be no distinction between nuclear-armed cruise missiles and conventionally armed ones. The reason: it was extremely difficult for spy satellites and other "national technical means of verification" to distinguish between nuclear and conventional warheads on cruise missiles. Therefore on the same principle that the U.S. had made stick in the case of D-and-P, where unMlRVed launchers were "deemed" to be MIRVed...
...reason for their confidence: on the major unsettled issues, Gromyko seemed to be under instructions to make concessions. The Soviets accepted, once and for all, a freeze on the number of warheads on existing ICBMS at the number already tested, and reaffirmed that the U.S. had the right to put ten warheads...
...count as the Soviets installed the SS-19s into one-third of the D-and-P silos. Nonetheless, officials in Washington?and particularly at the Pentagon? were worried about their future ability to distinguish MIRVed from unMlRVed rockets when mixed together as they were at D-and-P. The reason: except for a telltale domed antenna, the MIRVed SS-19 silos were virtually identical to the unMlRVed SS-11 holes...
