...anti-ballistic-missile systems that will siphon off tens of billions of dollars from urgently needed domestic programs in both countries. Moreover, Nixon insisted during the campaign that the U.S. faces a "security gap" and must not permit the Soviets to achieve anything approaching nuclear parity. In the Brookings report, Carl Kaysen, director of Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, sharply challenges that view, underscoring "the futility of a quest for security" through increasing military strength.

Mayor Daley's own riot-study committee (Daniel Walker was No. 2 man) cited the restraint practiced by the police as a major factor in keeping the April riots from becoming even "more violent and widespread."
