...control proposal of their own for limiting medium-range weapons. The judgment of the State Department is to watch the strident Soviet campaign, at least for the time being. Whatever the problems the NATO allies may have with their divided or left-leaning parliaments, the prevailing West European attitude toward the Soviets is believed to have hardened in the past two years. ''So far the Europeans have reacted pretty staunchly,'' said one senior U.S. specialist. Added a Defense Department official: ''With the scars of the neutron bomb on our back and theirs, they...

It clearly does not have the moral vision of the Warren Court, particularly in its attitude toward the havenots, but it certainly is not the conservative bastion that Nixon hoped to create.

Instead of the team players on the CCA, they tend toward individual stardom--Walter Sullivan for example has a network of buddies and relatives built up since he broke into the major leagues more than two decades ago--he doesn't need the CHT card file to help his effort. It's a little hard to gauge the strength...
