...would put new missiles in Western Europe. If the Soviets would remove their missiles pointed at Western Europe, NATO would remove the missiles in Western Europe. A President with a cowboy fixation got tough with the evil empire. His PR men changed the plan's name. "Two track" became "Zero Option," and the quiche-eater was pushed out of the spotlight...
...stands, Harvard has a vested interest (to the tune of over $200 million) in doing some favorable propaganda for the South African government. It also is not a democratic institution, since policy decisions are unilaterally made by the Corporation, with negligible input from the rest of the community (and zero input from the student body). Indeed, in the last Board of Overseers' election, there was an attempt to manipulate the outcome of the election, and President Bok himself initiated this subversion of a democratic process. So the university's authority in setting the correct norms for further debate...
When, in 1981, President Reagan first proposed the zero option, a plan to eliminate longer-range INF (LRINF) missiles, we had not yet deployed a single weapon of this type. The Soviets were not willing to bargain. In 1983 we proposed an interim agreement: equal U.S. and Soviet levels worldwide below NATO's planned deployment of 572 LRINF warheads. The Soviets still said no. By last October a sizable number of the U.S. missiles was in place...
...winning. Current party practice bars informal tests of strength. "There is no mountain to climb, no way for one of them to show off," says Bob Strauss, the former Democratic chairman who reigns as party sage. Says John White, another chairman emeritus: "The campaign goes back to ground zero." Polls taken last week, just after Hart's final agony became public, demonstrated why some skeptics call the active contenders the Seven Dwarfs. In Iowa the Des Moines Register survey of Democrats showed that the only real beneficiary was "undecided," which went up twelve points while Hart lost nine. The other...
While the BCS theory works well near absolute zero, some physicists think it will have to be modified or even scrapped as an explanation for the behavior of higher-temperature superconductors. According to Bardeen, his theory can explain superconductivity up to around 40 K. But at 90 K, he says, "I think it's highly unlikely. We no doubt are going to need a new mechanism." In fact, says Schrieffer, "superconductivity may turn out to have as many causes as the common cold...
