Some of Safeguard's most adamant opponents accept the need for continuing research and development in the field of missile defense. What they oppose is a binding decision this year - and the appropriations supporting it - to manufacture and deploy the missiles. Thus one possible way out of the virtual deadlock in the Senate is to go ahead with the basic program while deferring judgment on actual emplacement of the missiles. Massachusetts Republican Edward Brooke began circulating a written proposal to this effect three weeks ago. Last week Republican Whip Hugh Scott said in a press conference that...

Lewis Feuer has traced student politics back to the French Revolution, and his Conflict of Generations signifies a major effort to give these movements historical perspective and academic respectability. Feuer largely concentrates on the political consequences of the conflict, not the Oedipally determined struggle of sons against fathers. The element of generational conflict, he contends, has led students to amorality in the choice of political means. Given...
