...merit of the McNamara doctrine, according to Aron, is that it reduces the immediate danger of "nuclear spasm," as American theorists refer to all-out war. But it does so at the cost of increasing the likelihood of conventional or guerrilla wars in which (since massive retaliation is not as imminent) firmness of intent may be tested. Thus Aron speaks of both Russia and the U.S. wielding conventional "swords" behind a nuclear "shield," as the U.S. did when it used the Navy to stop Russian ships during the Cuban missile crisis. The act was possible because of local American superiority...
...refreshing at last to read a relatively unbiased CRIMSON account of SDS activities. I refer to the April 26th report of the address given by G. Menen Williams on America's Congo policy. Until this time, editorial opinion has not been limited to the editorial page, as it should be. The CRIMSON'S complete espousal of the SDS-May 2 line has degenerated into a starkly outlined and starkly unrealistic "good guys vs. bad guys" cliche--the very same sin ascribed by it to those who disagree. It should be evident that in such a situation no side...
...strikes theatrical circles as outrageous hubris, but it failed to faze Anhalt. "The main problem was to stop it from being a play," he explains, "to stop it from being theatrical, and to make it real. Becket on the stage was a series of stylized tapestries. Anouilh had to refer to things that happened offstage, the excommunication scene, or the scene in which Becket is accused by the King's prosecutor, for instance.

...field, both in the U.S. and abroad. It has so far installed 13,000 computers in the U.S. and another 3,000 in Western Europe, where industry and laboratories are just beginning to computerize. The payoff: 74% of the U.S. computer market, a dominance that leads some to refer to the industry as "IBM and the Seven Dwarfs." The dwarfs, small only by comparison with giant IBM: Sperry Rand, RCA, Control Data, General Electric, NCR, Burroughs, Honeywell. The computers have also spawned the so-called "software" industry, composed of computer service centers and independent firms that program machines and sell...
...early so that you could chat with him a while before your date. He looks like a past president of the Kiwanis, has a Major Hoople-ish voice just perfect for harrumphing (although he does not indulge) and a sense of humor just dry enough to let him refer to a political enemy as "that rodent" and pull it off. In addition, the dapper Senator from Pennsylvania has a delightful penchant for the well turned phrase (he often emits a self-congratulatory chortle after some especially well burnished jewel), and speaks with the assurance of a man used to being...
