...rationale has not always been consistent. However, as Nixon pointed out last week, the U.S.S.R. already has 67 ABM sites ringing Moscow. He has long argued that the principal justification for the ABM is that there is "a race already in progress, a race in which the Soviets threaten to leave us behind." Further, he has often noted that if the U.S. is to approach serious negotiations with the Russians on the reduction of nuclear arms-offensive and defensive-the ABM could prove useful as a bargaining counter...

Thoughts of preserving the system--where classes and dormitory rooms are open to anyone--instead of changing it. Mr. Collins's gang says if kids don't want them in class to "get involved" and "make" them leave. But we don't like to be forced into police committees. We catch our talk of "outsiders" and "disruption" and it reminds...
