A columnist argues mutual assured destruction deters nuclear war, then shifts to critique of U S education. The piece cites a 600 student test across eight nations including two Dallas schools where Americans rank low in math and science, calling for merit pay, stricter teacher screening, more homework, longer school days, and tougher graduation standards.
The piece discusses F Clifton White’s remark that the nation may face a generation less educated than its parents. It contrasts Reagan re election prospects with Jesse Jackson’s USA Today interview on minority politics and party reform, criticizing political rhetoric and leadership dynamics in both major parties.
A trove from Grenada’s October rescue shows a global Communist network with secret treaties linking Maurice Bishop’s regime to Cuba, North Korea, and the USSR. It details arms transfers totaling over 37 million dollars, training and indoctrination plans, and internal party self-criticism signaling political turmoil and disaffection within the army.
President Reagan pursues a tougher Lebanon policy by tying Israel and the United States more tightly together. A National Security Directive on Oct 29 calls for combined planning and pre positioning of US equipment in Israel, but Pentagon chiefs resist, delaying accords on medical cooperation and joint exercises while a Joint Political Military Group prepares a January meeting and potential medical cooperation.
