Thus Aron speaks of both Russia and the U.S. wielding conventional "swords" behind a nuclear "shield," as the U.S. did when it used the Navy to stop Russian ships during the Cuban missile crisis.

Nearly half (about 450,000) of them are West Indians, with the remainder about equally divided among Indians, Pakistanis...
...often been alleged that Cliffies are a fairly pitiful group of people. If the allegation needed any proof, it was provided by a recent CRIMSON scoop of stop-the-presses proportions. This scoop revealed that the Cliffies of Cabot Hall have succeeded in having the small cokes normally dispensed by the local Coke machine replaced by big ones...
