...capital goods export. Now U.S. supremacy seems threatened. The British-French Concorde, which will carry up to 144 passengers at 1,400 m.p.h., is scheduled to fly supersonically for the first time this month and to go into regular service in 1973. The Soviets are even further ahead; their TU-144 has already logged nearly 200 hours of flight, and may fly passengers supersonically next year to Expo '70 at Osaka, Japan...
...Soviets must take stock of just where they stand. In existing offensive weapons delivery systems, both sides have intercontinental bombers, land-based ICBMs and atom-powered submarines with sea-launched nuclear missiles. The U.S. has 510 B-52 and 80 B58 jet bombers as against 150 turboprop Soviet TU-95 Bears. There are 1,054 Minuteman and Titan II U.S. ICBMs, v. about 1,000 Russian ICBMs in the SS series. Undersea, the U.S. has 41 Polaris submarines, while the Soviets are adding twelve a year to their present fleet of nine; both U.S. and Soviet submarines carry 16 missiles...

The U.S. would phase out all of its B-52s and B-58s while building enough FB-111s, the strategic fighter-bomber version of the swing-wing F-111, to match the Soviet TU-95s in numbers. The U.S. would abandon Safeguard ABMs, the Russians would dismantle or neutralize the Galosh network and the Tallinn Line. Both sides would agree not to install operational MIRVs...

Andrew Wylie read from his own translations, and Ungaretti followed each poem in Italian. Reciting "Tu Ti Spezzasti" ("You Shattered"), a lament on the death of his son at sea, he shuddered through each enjambing line, whispered, shouted, and collapsed...
...naturally, have electronic spies of their own. Their trawler fleet makes up their most visible snooping force, showing up regularly in the South China Sea off Viet Nam and seaward from Cape Kennedy during U.S. space shots. The Soviets launch military reconnaissance satellites as regularly as does the U.S. TU-95 Bear turboprop converted bombers have been working near Alaska, since the early 1960s. Most recently they have been keeping tab on the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean-sometimes flying with Russian markings, sometimes with Egyptian. A shorter-range reconnaissance airplane, the TU-16 Badger, until a year...
