Some types of MlRVs face special restrictions. For example, MlRVed ICBMs and submarine-launched missiles together cannot exceed 1,200. And under that ceiling, MlRVed ICBMs are limited to 820. The reason for this stricter limit is that the land-based ICBMs, by combining enormous thrust with deadly accuracy, pose an especially great threat to the U.S.-Soviet balance. Neither side, moreover, can test or deploy an ICBM armed with more than ten MIRVs or a submarine-launched missile with more than 14 MIRVs. To prevent several missiles from being fired from the same launcher, the treaty forbids testing...
...White House pointedly made only a mild response to Soviet harassment of two Moscow correspondents for U.S. magazines, Robin Knight of U.S. News & World Report and Peter Hann of Business Week. Said a White House aide: "I can just picture some dumb flunky doing something counter to the main thrust of Soviet policy. If we can screw up that way, why can't they...

(Just last week an array of nonprescription sedatives used by millions was linked, through the ingredient methapyrilene, to cancer.) Moreover, experts are constantly challenging experts, debating the benefits and hazards of virtually every technical thrust. Who knows anything for sure? Could supersonic aircraft truly damage the ozone? The technical sages disagree...
...movement is rooted in the liberalization of the Latin hierarchy that followed the Second Vatican Council's emphasis on the need of the church to play a more active role in social and economic life. It was given added thrust by the 1968 CELAM in Medellin, Colombia, when the bishops overwhelmingly denounced the "institutionalized violence" of various Latin American governments. Since then, many supporters of the comunidades have enthusiastically adopted the language and goals of the "theology of liberation," a peculiar blend of Marxian economic analysis and Gospel imperatives, best articulated by Peruvian Priest Gustavo Gutierrez in the early...
...long chain is a real long chain, and I think none of us, or least not I, would deny it. I would also not deny at the end of that long chain, as I think Nye also pointed out, there is an enormously evil regime. So we thrust around for morally correct options in face of the recognition of relative powerlessness. Never an easy position, at least if one takes one's morality as seriously as one takes one's powerlessness...
