...that ''a 50% effective defense could make a significant and I think vital stabilizing contribution.'' Later at the conference, when Arms-Control Adviser Paul Nitze was informed of Perle's statements, he expressed surprise. ''I know for a fact,'' said Nitze, ''that it is contrary to the White House view of the matter. Maybe it's his view, but I can't understand the rationale for it.'' The rationale, according to those who advocate a system to protect silos, is that they are now vulnerable to a pre-emptive attack by the Soviets' vast arsenal of fast, accurate warheads...
...assailed the Justices as ''despots.'' Some 1,200 delegates to the National Right to Life Committee's convention in Denver applauded warmly. Then came New York's Republican Congressman Jack Kemp, a more conventional politician and a virtually certain candidate for the 1988 presidential nomination.

Tourists in Alaska become old hands quickly, but at first view it is not merely whales and glaciers and steaming volcanoes that are marvels. The tiny single-engine floatplanes and ski-planes themselves, the delivery vans and taxis of the roadless north, are just as scary and exotic. They seem as unsubstantial as bicycles, all wires and struts. Wedge yourself into the right...
