...land based cruise missile program comes in the verification of numbers deployed; it's impossible. But then either country could have and hide as many as it wished anyway--so the point is moot. While the land based missiles cannot be verified, delivery vehicles in other parts of the triad (planes, subs and ships) can be. Decreasing the risk of war justifies a safe weapon buildup. Harvard Living With Nuclear Weapons authors wrote. "We conclude that the contributions of air launched cruise missiles to deterrence and crisis stability outweigh the potential costs to negotiated arms control...
This is still Superman, of course, who is no more subject to mid-life crises than he is to dandruff. If he is made to turn sour, there must be a reason. Enter a triad of villains-Megamogul Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn), his ugly, scheming sister Vera (Annie Ross) and his "psychic nutritionist," the alluring Lorelei Ambrosia (Pamela Stephenson)-and one nebbishy computer genius gone astray. His name is Gus Gorman, and since he is played by Richard Pryor, two things are certain: Gus will be on Superman's side in time for the climax, and the film will...
William Bywater, president of the International Union of Electrical Workers, told the subcommittee that at Litton's Triad-Utrad division in Huntington, Ind., the company had squelched five organizing campaigns by four different unions between 1964 and 1982. During an organizing drive in 1980, charged Bywater, Litton once again started a "massive campaign of fear and intimidation" to stop workers from supporting the union...
...months has rejected two Administration-backed basing modes for the beleaguered MX because they did not solve that problem. The commission's approach: redefine the concept. While admitting that survivability of fixed targets, such as MX missile silos, "may not outlast this century," the panel argued that the triad of bombers plus land-and sea-based strategic weapons, "assessed collectively and not in isolation," guarantees deterrence...
...some years, the Soviets have been building up a sizable, potentially destabilizing advantage in land-based, highly accurate, highly destructive ballistic warheads. The U.S. is seeking to preserve a balance by modernizing the land-and sea-based legs of its strategic triad with the MX and the submarine-launched Trident II missiles. The Soviets are constantly improving their formidable antiaircraft defenses. That makes it harder for U.S. bombers, the airborne leg of the triad, to be sure of getting to their targets. That, in turn, makes it all the more important that the U.S. develop two types of weapons...
