Moscow's position was both bogus and brazen. It was the Soviet Union that had upset the balance in the first place by deploying the mobile, triple-warhead SS-20 ballistic missile. The West Europeans urged Washington to redress the imbalance by getting the Soviets to cut back on their SS-20s while NATO evened the scales with some new weapons on its side. Nor did the Soviets quit while they were ahead. Despite declaration of a moratorium on SS-20s, they pushed ahead to complete new missile sites that had previously been under construction...
...would have been a very good deal indeed for the U.S. The Soviet Union would have finally sanctioned the introduction of new U.S. weapons in Western Europe. In doing so, Moscow would have tacitly conceded that it had created an imbalance and that the West was entitled to redress it. The Soviets would have also abandoned their claim to compensation for the British and French nuclear forces. A freeze on Asian SS-20s would have enabled the U.S. to assure China, Japan and South Korea that European arms control was not being conducted at their expense. Under the plan...
...there is hope, U.S. officials have recently indicated that some sort of compromise on the negotiations is not out of the question. If Soviet paranoia can be assuaged by good-faith negotiations, perhaps a settlement can be had. And if the West can start to redress the conventional imbalance in Europe, the nuclear question would certainly become easier to handle, if not to solve...
...take their husbands to court. Newspapers, judges, hospitals, neighbors, even a growing number of once exasperated police officers, are beginning to understand the dimensions of the problem. More important, states and municipalities are putting laws on the books that give women a realistic chance of getting protection and redress through the courts. As Franci Livingston, an attorney with the Center for Women Policy Studies in Washington, points out, "Ten years ago there were no real, specific laws providing remedies for women. If a woman wanted protection using the courts, she would have to get it as part of a domestic...
...most important and immediate point of contention is the installation later this year of American Pershing II ballistic and Tomahawk cruise missiles in Western Europe. The U.S. and its NATO allies quite justifiably insist on the right to deploy new weapons in Europe to redress the military imbalance resulting from the Soviet buildup in recent years, especially the arrival on the scene of some 360 SS-20 ballistic missiles, each with three warheads. The Soviets, quite outrageously but very stubbornly, have made it a cornerstone of their policy that NATO has no such right; not a single new long-range...
