...scale population defense; and yet it still could pave the way for a grand compromise by inducing the Soviets to agree to significant cuts in offensive weapons in return for reinforcing old agreements that limit the development of defensive systems. Indeed, the Soviets have recently begun exploring ways to restrict SDI by reaffirming the ABM treaty of 1972. That approach has considerable promise since it is potentially compatible with Reagan's own public statements on SDI.

"If you have a house full of goodies and say, 'Johnny, you can't have this,' then that could be damaging," she says. "But if the way you restrict your child is just to provide a healthy home environment where you allow them a little bit of choice--apples or grapes for dessert, for instance--then you're giving children a chance to decide for themselves while...
