...arguments goes beyond technology into strategy and diplomacy. Throughout the postwar period, the U.S. has based its main defense on "assured destruction"?the ability to inflict catastrophic damage on any opponent (until now, the Soviet Union) even if the adversary delivered the first nuclear blow. This second-strike capability has induced the U.S. to maintain an immense nuclear arsenal, far larger and more diverse than that of the Russians...

Admen expect that American Tobacco (Pall Mall, Lucky Strike) will spend about the same as last year: more than $26 million. Liggett & Myers is also holding the line on TV. Some of the companies have been negotiating for "getting-out clauses" in their TV contracts just in case cigarette ads are somehow restricted, or are required to carry health...
