...York Times can pound it into the public consciousness, as it did last Sunday, that "cruise missiles are not really comparable to MIRV s," but they don't care much for the Times in Moscow--and that's what counts. Unfortunately, approaches along the lines of the Carter proposal, which the Soviets have already rejected, make up about the only arguments that both hawks and doves in the U.S. can agree upon.

At Florida's Kennedy Space Center, an 1,800-pound spacecraft known as Voyager 2 was launched atop a Titan-Centaur rocket and aimed at Jupiter, 579 million miles and nearly two years away.
