...things in it that the Soviets do not like. SALT II, among its other advantages, imposes realistic constraints on the most threatening Soviet weapons, ICBMs with multiple warheads. These Soviet MlRVed ICBMs represent the cutting edge of the strategic nuclear challenge to the U.S. since their warheads might render the American deterrent vulnerable to a pre-emptive strike, at least in the calculations of many defense planners. The treaty, moreover, does not prevent the U.S. from developing and deploying new weapons that will be necessary to keep pace with the Soviets. If the U.S. tries to extract too many additional...
...floating observatory. C. Robert O'Dell, 43, the project's chief scientist, thinks the new instrument may be the most important telescope ever built. Lofted into earth orbit by the space shuttle, it will expand the astronomers' universe (increasing its observable volume 350-fold) and render whatever it reaches visible in exquisite new detail. The space telescope's primary lens-actually a mirror-will measure only 94 in. across, a middling size as large reflecting telescopes go. Yet it will provide images ten times sharper than the biggest instruments on the ground, including...
...remains an open question; a man with questions of that sort in his past should not be given a position of major national responsibility. If Reagan should offer his name to the Senate, we urge the most careful scrutiny of Haig's Watergate involvement--and expect that that would render his approval impossible...

These actions pursue one aim: protection of our friends and the security of our southern frontiers. No more than that. The U.S.S.R. has repeatedly emphasized that it stands for a political solution to this problem. Washington knows well that if the U.S.A. ensured the complete termination of outside interference in the affairs of Afghanistan and effectively guaranteed, together with Afghanistan's neighbors, that such interference would not be resumed, the reason for keeping Soviet troops in Afghanistan would be eliminated...
...distrust and dismal view of men is on of The Girl I left Behind's greatest flaws. In her tendency to blame them alone for society's ills, O'Reilly fulfills the caricature of the man-hating, strident feminist. Although her personal and statistical evidence of discrimination and sexism render her anger justifiable, O'Reilly's belief in female superiority is weakened by her own descriptions of opportunistic women who objectify...
