...revised. A significant cut in ICBMs and medium-range and battlefield missiles, and other agreements on disarmament, should be negotiated as soon as possible, independently of SDI, in accordance with the lines of the understanding laid out in Reykjavik ((presumably with the additional feature of priority cuts in silo-based MIRVed ICBMs)). I believe that a compromise on SDI can be reached later. In this way the dangerous deadlock in the negotiations could be overcome. I shall try to analyze the ideas that led to the package approach and demonstrate their unsoundness. I shall also attempt to demonstrate the unsoundness...
...forces insisting on SDI deployment nevertheless were to prevail, the U.S.S.R. would not be left in a hopeless position. It could bring to a halt any reduction of its strategic forces and begin accelerated construction of mobile strategic missiles and cruise missiles, which would thus replace vulnerable silo-based missiles. As I have noted, such substitution is desirable for other reasons...

Of course, in the worst case ((SDI deployment)), which I do not believe likely, a new round of the arms race would begin with the U.S.S.R. replacing silo-based missiles with mobile ones. Even in that event, I do not believe that the strategic position of the U.S.S.R. and the stability of the international situation would be different from the situation that would be the case if the package approach were maintained (and the Soviet Union's political...
...Evil of Gargoyle the Globekiller--your guts will run and your flesh will crawl!... On monitors in the window, men boxed and played cricket, barbarians slaughtered hordes of demon invaders, outer space warriors zapped each other in fountains of gore, a caveman swung across what looked like a missile silo towards a control room in which a mad masked axeman made ready to hack up a screaming pubescent girl, and women wanked ferociously in a variety of imaginative positions...
...launching, apparently because of a problem in the rocket's fuel system. No one suggested there was a major flaw in the SS-18 program. Nonetheless, U.S. observers emphasized the strategic importance of the missile to the Soviets, citing what former U.S. National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft called its silo-busting capabilities...
