There is even dispute over ABM's likely adversary. Sentinel has long been billed as a "thin" defense, suitable only against a Chinese attack. Yet some of its strongest supporters?and critics?view it as the beginning of a "thick" shield to counter Russian strength. One point seems certain: if Washington and Moscow decide to invest heavily in ABMs, the world will see a new watershed in nuclear weaponry...
When morning dawned, 30 armed Chinese appeared on the river bank and crossed over to the island in full view of the Soviet border guards watching from their side of the frontier. That kind of mild intrusion had happened so frequently that the Soviet response was almost a drill routine. The Russian station commander for the area, Senior Lieutenant Strelnikov, took seven of his men and walked out to meet the Chinese.

Since Brown and the other opponents of this course have failed consistently to offer a sufficient explanation for booting the course out of their department, since they have continually harassed the course leaders with arguments that have been resolved as long ago as the CEP meeting of October 9 (when Dean Ford called 148 a "valuable experiment...
...people who involve themselves in student government organizations tend, in my very personal opinion, to be vain, egotistical and close-minded. Many of them view participation in student politics as an excellent training ground for future endeavors on a somewhat larger scale. As long as the student organizations were looked upon as worthless extracurricular activities, this was harmless. But now that the members have managed to convince many people that they should play an important role in the University, their own presence is dangerous and must...
