Cornell Physicist Hans Bethe, a Nobel laureate who believes Safeguard to be sound in principle but not yet necessary to U.S. defense, replies that it is possible to intercept the enemy warheads with Sprints at altitudes below 30 miles, where radar blackout is not a serious problem. Further, the PAR installations are designed to overlap enough for one to take over the functions of another -at least in theory-if the second is blacked out or even physically destroyed by a missile that penetrates the ABM defenses...
...their security; the new weapons may, in fact, diminish safety. The prospect of a new lap in the arms race could also decrease the chances for serious agreement during the strategic arms-limitation talks that the U.S. hopes to begin with the U.S.S.R. next month.

Campus disorders? Nevada Southern University in Las Vegas has eleven fraternities and sororities, but no S.D.S. chapter. Racial riots?

Recent years have seen the emergence of a new kind of military man-up from the lower or middle class, equipped with some technical skills, interested in efficiency and growth. Often he thinks he can run his country better than the sons...
...with Quinine. The upsurge could have been caused either by toxic adulterants or, on the contrary, by unusually pure and therefore more potent supplies of the drug. (Heroin pushers usually "cut" or dilute the drug with sugar and quinine.) No toxic agents have yet been discovered, however, suggesting that uncommonly pure "bags" of the drug, peddled by a pusher anxious to enlarge his clientele by offering quality merchandise, might be responsible...
