...first full week as George Bush's running mate, the young Senator from Indiana attempted, with a mixture of indignation and forced humor, to exorcise a tag-team of ghosts haunting the Republican ticket. Did his family wealth and connections get him into the Guard while other young men went to war? Did he proposition Party Girl and Lobbyist Paula Parkinson? As Quayle swatted away one spook, another replaced it. When he declared an end to the discussion about his past and sought to go on the offense, he tripped over his exaggerated resume.

In estimating the price tag for these conventional improvements at $3 billion over four or five years, as you did in an interview with the Baltimore Sun published on July 3, you have trivialized the problem. A more realistic estimate would be tens of billions of dollars a year. Strengthening NATO's ability to deter war should...
