Its deployment, undetectable by most monitoring procedures, could make a final agreement impossible. >The Nixon plan provides for parity in delivery systems but not in megatonnage. Because some Soviet rockets are so much larger (some SS-9s pack 25 megatons v. five megatons for Titan 2, the biggest American 1CBM), the Soviets would probably come out with more firepower.

In so doing, he has generated a furious debate between those who regard his opponents as so many patsies and those who see him as "a Titan," "a Hercules," a larger-than-life hero who is miraculously real.

What is more, the Russians are test-flying a new swing-wing bomber similar to the nearly operational...
