...reason why both sides were eager to start at this particular time is that the superpowers have reached a delicate balance of terror. After a crash program to install more S59 and SS-11 land-based missiles, the Soviets apparently feel that they have reached parity with the U.S. Even so, each side realizes that it does not possess sufficient first-strike power to render the other side incapable of a nuclear riposte that would gravely damage the attacker.

There must be a reason I went to Washington. Something must have happened there. It didn't end the war. It probably didn't even affect the war. There are only two things it did to me-it changed the way I look at cops, at least Washington cops, and it changed the way I look at polities and political action.
