Many workers in IBP's Dakota City, Neb., plant "stand on treacherously slippery floors covered with animal fat," contends Lewie Anderson, vice president of the 1.3 million-member United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.

The first successful disarmament treaty--as opposed to an arms control treaty such as SALT--could easily bring about, in its wake, the negotiated elimination of other nuclear weapons in Europe such as those carried by bombers or fired by artillery. An INF treaty holds out the possibility of the "denuclearization" of Europe, which would remove the West's check on Soviet conventional superiority on the continent...
