...week. He did so when he ordered U.S. nuclear tests stopped for one year without the U.S.'s twelve-year-old precondition of foolproof inspection (TIME, Sept. 1), did so again when he endorsed a test inspection system prepared by his scientific advisers which admitted that relatively small Russian underground blasts (less than five kilotons) could probably not be detected...
...even grander "15-year-perspective development plan"-been proclaimed that sounded so much like a political manifesto. It pledges Russia's 121 million workers "the world's shortest working week"-but at some unspecified future time. It promises that there will be butter for every Russian table, while "flights to celestial and cosmic bodies" will also be carried out.

Hitler's precedent with the Sudeten Germans forms an instructive precedent which shows how effective this tactic can be. Could weakened NATO forces contest successive nibbles and would we dare to use massive retaliation against a small Russian move? In any case, a buffer zone plan seems to provide little more stability than exists at present. Demilitarizing Central Europe...
