...author is not alone in his contention that even the most optimistic SALT agreement would not "eradicate the threat to our land-based missiles and thus cure the instability of the strategic balance." In explaining why true stabilization will not emerge from SALT, Ravenal deftly separates "arms control" from the control of "arms," in the generic sense. Because the former term implies the existence of a forum, agreements, inspection, and reciprocity, it cannot accommodate any effort at stabilization that may exist outside such a framework.

There is no major source for chrome other than...
...answer is the threat of charter competition and fear of Government deregulation. Fare cutting really began to take off after the Civil Aeronautics Board approved the Advance Booking Charters, liberalized charter schemes that promise to become the hottest thing in cut-rate travel. At the same time, the scheduled lines have concluded that it is wise to show some willingness to compete on price now that Congress is considering a sweeping airline deregulation bill, sponsored by Senators Ted Kennedy and Howard Cannon, that would allow airlines more freedom in changing fares and make it easier for new airlines to start...
