Washington reports that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan signals a new decade feared to be the most dangerous since World War II. Analysts warn that the United States and Russia have edged toward war on several occasions, notably in 1962.
A two part report notes Soviet military gains over 15 years, eroding U.S. dominance. Officials warn of “essential equivalence” in arms, emboldened Kremlin risks, and plans to deploy MX missiles while the U.S. readies 1985 budget and upgraded Minuteman ICBMs.
The United States advances three major weapons programs likely costing over 70 billion dollars in the coming decade. The plan includes 200 MX mobile missiles in desert shelters, a fleet of 13 Trident submarines with 4,600 mile range, and 3,000 cruise missiles on 173 B 52 bombers.
About one tenth of Earth's land surface is permanently iced, an area comparable to the size of South America. A steelmaker's open hearth furnace houses bricks enough to construct 125 six room houses.
The Cedar Rapids and Iowa City area program pairs a Regional Agronomist with Lawn Specialists. It offers four timed applications titled Early Spring, Late Spring/Early Summer, Summer, and Fall. The plan includes balanced heavy-rate fertilization, preemergent control for crabgrass and foxtail, and broadleaf weed control.
