...SALT Should Be Ratified: First, because it enhances the security of the U.S. and our allies. Second, it will help maintain strategic stability; it will reduce uncertainties with respect to the force structures of the two sides and thus enable each to plan forces in a more intelligent, less destabilizing way. Third, the treaty is based on adequate verification-not on trust. Fourth-and this is what I'd like to emphasize-we should never lose sight of the awesome horror of nuclear weapons and the incredible effects of a nuclear exchange. Anything that makes those horrors less likely...
...good to be just a fluke, too tender to pass completely for the street-wise character she likes to play in her songs, too unexpected and far too unlikely to be a product of some commercial calculation. Jones' sound, respect, gracefully oldtime, never turns antique. She likes Van Morrison, Marvin Gaye and Laura Nyro, but she also talks of Peggy Lee and Sarah Vaughan with respect, performs a stops-out version of an old Louis Prima tune to close out her concerts.

The American taxpayer thus footed some of the costs of this company's political advocacy...
...Government leads them to despair of all change. Perhaps the conservative Government Department has socialized them. In any event, they appear to lack a social conscience. It is shameful and sad that teachers of political science at one of the most prestigious Americun universities seem to have lost respect for fundamental American political values: freedom to protest against injustice, equality for all races, democratic decision-making, and social activism. How can such teachers do justice to the American Revolution, to Abraham Lincoln, to the Brown decision...
