Bowing to these attacks, Brown's office revised the Guidance so that it now reads: "We do not advocate abandoning the flanks of NATO." On most other points, however, the Navy's critics continue to reject the service's arguments, stressing that the carriers have become extraordinarily vulnerable when they push close to the Soviet Union. Just as the introduction of sea-based aircraft eventually ended the battleship's reign, so the cruise missile, with its potential for pinpoint accuracy at long range, will doom the big-deck carrier.

"The best that this will do is allow us to tread water," says Sven Grassman of Stockholm University's Institute of International Economic Studies. Other economists, including some in the government, reject as "rosy" and "naive" official forecasts of positive G.N.P. growth, 10% inflation and at least unchanged unemployment this year...
