...second generation of solid-fuel missiles, designed for mass production and mass deployment through the mid-1960s, must have smaller, higher-yield thermonuclear warheads to fit their smaller nose cones. The Navy's Polaris engineers managed to test their bird's initial warhead just before the moratorium, but could not test its higher-yield follow-up warhead; the Air Force's Minuteman (see SCIENCE) and the Army's Pershing are being developed at a cost of millions to fit warheads that have not been tested, and, under the moratorium, may not be.

NATO's Secretary-General Paul-Henri Spaak, who wants a thorough re-examination of policy, is convinced that "we are at the beginning of a new phase.
