These improvements in the U.S. forces have made Haig "cautiously optimistic" about NATO's ability to defend Western Europe. But enormous problems remain. Despite the more integrated communications, for example, NATO's 15 members still use 15 different radio bands. This means that units of one ally cannot plug into another's tactical radio network. Completely unifying the system, however, is a project that could cost billions of dollars. Logistics, especially the resupplying of units after combat begins, is "a horrible mishmash," according to an Administration strategist. While it would be possible, in time of crisis...

Yet, even with much of the exclusivity and the prestige and the envious crowds gone, the debut remain de rigeur for certain people. But let us experience at first hand debutante scene today by recreating the events leading up to the big night...
...from as far away as Mexico City, Oceanside, Calif., St. Louis, Mo., and as near as Newton South -- fight back. Nathan D. Leight '81, business manager for the HMUN, sees the trouble he is headed for. Leaning back in the two pieces of his three-piece corduroy suit that remain, Leight says the "Sheraton is the only facility in New England that can hold us.
