Still another difficulty involves the wording with which both sides pledge that they will not try to circumvent the terms of the accord. Although such a vow may seem superfluous, the Soviets could try to interpret it in a manner that would impede the transfer of weapon technology by the U.S. to other NATO members...
There is even an argument that it is not worth the effort to continue trying to control strategic arms because SALT so far has accomplished little. Weapons output and costs, for example, do not seem to have decreased under SALT I. And certainly no treaty is better than a bad treaty. Still, it ought to be possible to negotiate an accord, in SALT III or IV, that would stabilize the nuclear balance and provide a high enough level of confidence so that both superpowers could finally brake their strategic arms efforts...

Nixon's Cold-War rhetoric, his simplistic approach to the problems of minorities, his bloody-axe technique of dealing with essential social services, make up the bewildering philosophy of a man rather remarkably frozen solid to the 1952 Republican platform. Even more bewildering, however, is that he has been able to mask...
