...question remains: How and when does the Pentagon plan to use chemical and biological weapons? There are three basic roles that such weapons might play: aggressive, defensive or deterrent. The U.S. has yet to ratify the 1925 Geneva Protocol outlawing the use of chemical-biological weapons, though it did approve a 1966 U.N. resolution to the same effect. In 1943, Franklin Roosevelt pledged that the U.S. would use those weapons only if an enemy used them first. Under State and Defense Department pressure in 1959, however, Congress refused to make formal the "no first strike" rule. Still...
...Because of the divisions in the Communist world, it was not really remarkable that there were abstentions and objections. Surprising, however, was the extent to which the Soviets bent and shuffled in order to get as many signatures as possible on the dotted line. Moscow had once aimed to use the conference to read the Chinese out of the Communist movement. No such luck: all direct mention of the Chinese was knocked out of the final version. The Kremlin had also wanted to gain the parties' approval for the doctrine of limited sovereignty, by which the Soviet regime justifies...
...only Prince of Wales and Heir Apparent to the throne of Great Britain. You are also Charles Windsor, an intelligent and well-educated young man with a mind of your own and the opportunity to use it, if you want to. Certainly, we want you to.

But if you showed clearly that you were preoccupied by our preoccupations, that you can dance to our music and sing...
...king who is worth more than the throne he sits on, we must know who it is that we are getting. And if you are to be our king in 20 years' time, you must start to be a Prince now. Somehow you must find your voice and use it. In this brash and noisy generation, a lounge suit and a stately silence will merely sink you in oblivion. The investiture of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales at Caernarvon Castle will mean little to us. We are looking forward to the day when Charles Windsor emerges from...
Smith has also received generous aid from South Africa, even though his regime's blatant march toward apartheid is something of an embarrassment to Pretoria and its "outward-looking" foreign policy of making friends with its African neighbors. The embarrassment is likely to increase as Rhodesia makes use of the constitution's possibilities for repressive laws. Sooner or later, those laws are likely to be needed. South Africans are outnumbered by Africans only 4 to 1. White Rhodesians have set themselves the task of staying on top in a country where they are a minority by a ratio...
