Description

Admiral LaRocque--whose active service goes back to Pearl Harbor and who

retired as a Rear Admiral in 1972--is an ardent advocate of disarmament. Mr. Courter is

an ardent advocate of the Space Shield. At times their ardency bursts into shrillness, but

mostly this is an exciting and instructive hour. JC: "We and the Soviet Union do not

mirror-image each other.... The Soviets will use [on-site] inspection for the gathering

of intelligence. We'll use inspection for the purpose of corroborating their compliance

with arms-control agreements." GL: "Arms control as we've known it... has been

singularly unsuccessful.... They meet over there in Geneva, and they come out...

[and] say: We have agreed that we will build no more square weapons, no more round

weapons, and no more triangular weapons. That's seen as a challenge, then, to the

engineers and the scientists and the militarists to build tetrahedrons."
