...Strangelove go berserk, an attack might strike anywhere-and a limited defense would not necessarily be effective against it. Nixon's third stated aim was the shakiest: "Defense of the American people against the kind of nuclear attack which Communist China is likely to be able to mount within the decade." It was a difficult line of reasoning to maintain, since the Chinese, until at least the mid-1970s, will not have the sophisticated weaponry to zero in on U.S. ICBM sites. They would be readier for the less precise task of attacking U.S. cities, which will...
...looked last week as if the new President's honeymoon was ending with his first tough decision. That judgment seems premature-but the beginning of the end of forbearance and tolerance is probably in sight. Nixon's gamble is that the ABM will prove technically workable within the next five years.

The use of a summary letter grade is simply not the best means for fulfilling...
...students attributed the remark to Father Hidalgo, the fervent but inept tocsin-sounder of the Revolution of 1810.) To the old regime in Zapata's time, he was a bandit of a new Attila; to the ruling class today, he remains the ominous symbol for the dark forces within the dispossessed which could still be stirred up at an moment. For those of us who like our history epic and our heroes simple and romantic, Zapata is Marlon Brando schmarfing to himself in his Speedy Gonzales accent...
