Thus, when Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny flew into Cairo last week aboard a gleaming 11-62, his chief object was to find out what it all meant and to safeguard the Soviet stake in the Middle East. This he managed at visit's end by signing a 15-year friendship treaty with Sadat that provides for continued Soviet military, economic and cultural aid and, significantly, contains a promise by Egypt to pursue a socialist course regardless of who is in power. The treaty then ensures that Russia's influence can be perpetuated in spite of any U.S. diplomatic...
...details of the agreement can be hammered out until the SALT negotiations resume. The U.S. is willing to allow the ABM protection of Moscow to expand slightly; in return, it expects to retain some of the four Safeguard sites currently under way to protect American ICBM silos. Now in its initial stages, after barely gaining congressional approval, the ABM program can be modified to fit any possible agreement. Until an accord is reached, the U.S. intends to go ahead with additional ABM sites as well as with the deployment of MIRV, multiwarhead missiles designed to penetrate the Soviet Galosh...
...frontier closed in that awful moment when the first man came to the South in bondage, locking the Southern experience into its tragic course.

It said that members of the "enlarged community" would join to "safeguard the interests of countries whose economies depend to a large degree on primary products, particularly sugar." Rippon felt that the wording was sufficiently strong. After all, if there were any inclination to welsh on that promise once Britain was inside the Market, London could threaten to make things difficult for the one-crop French African countries that...
Soviet hardliners, however, could make a comparable case. They could argue that Safeguard, which was rammed through Congress just before SALT began, may be the first step in a "heavy" system designed to make American cities safe from Soviet attack, thus opening the way for a U.S. first strike against Russia. The Russians are also distressed by the fact that even as the SALT talks have dragged on, the Pentagon has been pushing for stepped-up development of bigger and better strategic weapons. Meanwhile, the Air Force has deployed its first squadron of 50 Minuteman 3 missiles at Minot...
