Though the proposal--to establish a new sub-area within the Science area of the Core--will most likely meet with opposition on the student-Faculty Core advisory committee, it is at least an attempt to convey student dissatisfaction with the Core. All the same, the council should submit a thorough report to the committee, putting it in the context of the Core's academic philosophy...

Soviet nuclear-powered submarines routinely ply the heavily trafficked sea-lanes off the U.S. East Coast, but few ever surface. Thus Navy pilots patrolling the Atlantic in a P-3C Orion antisubmarine aircraft early last Tuesday morning were astonished to sight a Soviet attack sub moving through rolling seas some 470 miles off the coast of South Carolina in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. The 341-ft.-long vessel was clearly having mechanical troubles, but it issued no international distress signal. Instead, the ship and its crew of about 90 men braved the winds and waves, bobbing, in the words...

The mechanical mishap was I only the latest in a series of embarrassing setbacks for the Soviet fleet. In 1981 a diesel powered Soviet sub snooping in a restricted zone off the Swedish coast ran aground and had to be pulled to a safer anchor-age by Swedish tugboats. According to U.S. intelligence, another...

Those cruise missiles which are neither air nor sub launched would have to be stationed in places not exceeding 2000 miles from their target. This puts the U.S. in a peculiar position of leaving the burden of responsibility for deployment to the allies. (In fact, continental America would have no "land based" nuclear forces whatsoever.) Yet almost all the allies already have U.S. or their own nuclear forces. If NATO adopted a cruise missile defense policy, not only would the destabilizing situation be eradicated in the U.S., but in Europe as well...
