...danger of political intimidation and blackmail that they might derive from that capability. During his first term, Reagan proposed drastic reductions in Soviet offensive forces, especially in ICBM warheads. But his only leverage then was the prospect of an American offensive buildup, which included plans for the ten-warhead MX missile and the highly accurate Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). The Soviets were willing to risk an offense-offense arms race and were not prepared to bargain
...menace that strikes mostly at homosexuals and intravenous drug addicts, the mystifying disease called AIDS has seemed ominous enough. But its future as sketched last week by the Public Health Service is downright scary. A PHS conference of experts on the disease speculated that AIDS will multiply more than ten times by the end of 1991, the caseload rising from 21,517 known cases to 270,000, the death toll from the 11,713 so far to 179,000.

...anti- Fundamentalists' last and best hope, since moderate Southern Baptists are concentrated in the coastal region between Washington and Atlanta. But Rogers won 54.2% of the vote, not too surprising in light of a poll issued by anti- Fundamentalists revealing that 88% of Southern Baptists in ten states agreed that ''the Bible is the inspired word of God and contains no errors.'' The issue that divided the meeting was not what Southern Baptists believe. In fact, the losing candidate, Pastor W. Winfred Moore of Amarillo, Texas, agrees with Rogers on Bible literalism. But Moore would allow some leeway in interpretations...
