...just the impact of total disarmament that needs studying. We also need to alleviate the impact of less drastic shifts and/or curtailments in the defense budget. Last month I was in Washington arguing that the U.S. seemed to be planning to build too many missiles--more than are needed for a minimum deterrent and so many as to needlessly and dangerously intensify the arms race by threatening the Soviet Union with being on the low end of a "missile gap." To this the liberal and intelligent top aide to one of our most pro-disarmament Senators responded that he personally...
...worked with children for many years, I feel that Dr. Spock presents a very honest and realistic attitude toward this insane business of atomic testing. He does not go far enough. Psychiatrists recognize that this constant living in fear, which we are all doing, is having a tremendous emotional impact upon our children. The constant talk about the nuclear threat and the threat of war is not conducive to happiness in our children. If more courageous and thoughtful Americans would speak up, as has Dr. Spock, perhaps we could overcome the madness which our nation is now involved...
Hints for Hercules. The military services will get a crack at the data, too. The Air Force is vitally interested in the effects of shock waves and radiation on its aircraft, and the Navy is equally concerned about its ships. The Army is waiting anxiously for the impact that the tests will have on its Nike-Hercules anti-missile program. It will be bad news for the Nike-Hercules if a test bomb exploded at high altitude makes the air opaque to radio waves. This might mean that an elaborate Nike-Hercules base could be blinded by a single nuclear...
More of a Guy. Last week the impact was clear at the top Eastern colleges, which ended another admissions sweepstakes with the best winners ever. Reflecting better high school guidance, the colleges got fewer applicants than last year: 36,000 boys for 8,630 places in the eight-campus Ivy League; 9,800 girls for 2,800 places at the "Big Seven" women's colleges. By the same token, rejections were more heartbreaking than ever. Columbia and Radcliffe reported that 85%-90% of all applicants were perfectly qualified; there was simply no more room. Except for Columbia College, which...
...International Business at Columbia, issued to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency in February: the U.S. and world economies could not only cope with disarmament, but benefit from it if planning is undertaken in advance. The ten-nation U.N. panel considered the peaceful use of released resources, the impact on national production and employment, structural problems of conversion, the effect on international economic relations, and the volume of aid for economic development, as well as the social consequences of disarmament. The conclusion that disarmament would be "an unqualified blessing," (the world spends $120,000,000 annually on the arms race...
