A GIANT STEP FORWARD FOR TECHNOLOGY
SINCE the dawn of history, the promise of beating swords into plowshares has been an integral part of human culture. Mankinds hunger for weapons can spawn valuable non-military technologies, as our recent experiences show. The Manhattan Project to develop the atom bomb gave birth to nuclear power, and the construction of the American intercontinental ballistic missile force greatly advanced the development of semiconductors, high-speed computers and space exploration. The Strategic Defense Initiative is the most challenging large-scale technology program ever conceived. Its potential for bringing advanced technologies into the commercial arena is equal to or greater than these past efforts.

Watch Siskel and Ebert Defend the Original STAR WARS Films
There are people living and breathing in this world who are Star Wars haters. They dismiss Star Wars as drivel intended for children, meaningless entertainment that should be discarded in favor of Intellectual Foreign Language Films. These people are.
WASHINGTON - Space, according to the experts, is the next battlefield. It will be an arena for laser death rays, orbiting battle stations, and heroic acts. Yet the vision holds a flaw, one carefully brushed aside by those in the defense industry and the military who are pushing for exotic new arsenals. The weapons could be knocked out of action by a single nuclear blast in outer space.
Such a blast would instantly set up an electric pulse of up to a million volts in hundreds of satellites and battle stations, zapping their solid-state circuits, and replacing the Pentagons heady vision of valor in space with the dreary reality of a nuclear junkyard. The chaos is easy to produce. A Soviet two-megaton warhead, detonated just outside the Earths atmosphere, would set up a damaging pulse in spacecraft as far away as geosynchronous orbit, the point 23,000 miles above the Earth where satellites hang motionless. The effects of a larger bomb would reach further.

Your Dog Is Not That Cute
LISTEN, its not personal. Im totally fine with you running a combo boot camp-yoga class in the park around the corner from my house. Not that Im tempted to join the class. The idea of someone yelling, Crawl faster, while I scramble on all fours through grass that I know for a fact gets fertilized hourly by a gaggle of obese geese, holds zero appeal. But maybe thats just me. The problem is that you bring your dog to your class and you let him run off-leash. That would still be O.K., except that when I ask you to please leash your dog because if you dont my leashed dog will yank so hard he will dislocate my shoulder, you ignore me.

U.S. Expects Limited Help
Japanese participation in the research on an American anti-missile program may offer the Pentagon access to a host of technologies in leading-edge computer designs, semiconductors and artificial intelligence programming software that could speed the development of a space-based defense against nuclear attack, experts said yesterday. But at the same time, American Defense Department officials and industry analysts expressed sharp doubts that Japans electronics giants would prove willing to contribute their most advanced technologies to the project, for fear of revealing too much to American competitors. And some Pentagon officials say they are very reluctant to entrust key classified elements of the Star Wars development to Japanese industry, which is closely monitored by the Soviet Union.
PUTTING INDUSTRY EVEN FURTHER BEHIND
IN the 1984 election, Ronald Reagan thrashed the Democrats for their flirtations with industrial policy. Today, he and his many supporters in the military industry are eagerly pushing the nation toward its grandest experiment yet in industrial planning - the Strategic Defense Initiative, popularly known as Star Wars. Unlike the Democratic versions, however, this policy will exacerbate our problems in international competition by diverting scarce resources and prized technical talent into arcane areas of research that lack commercial potential. As Hans Peter Durr, director of the Werner Heisenberg Institute for Physics in Munich, West Germany, has pointed out, the ability to forge a sword may be useful for making plowshares - but do we need the ability to burn holes in metal at a range of 1,800 miles? As the largest military venture ever proposed, S.D.I. is not just another weapons program. It will cost $32 billion for research alone between 1985 and 1989 - more than both the research and production costs for major programs such as the MX missile and B-1 bomber. According to our analysis at the Council on Economic Priorities, actual deployment of a strategic defense system could cost between $400 billion and $800 billion.

First, Sort Out Myths
Before we proceed further with the Strategic Defense Initiative, we must make an effort to sort out the myths - the appealing vision presented by the Administration - from the sobering realities. Myth: The initiative will provide defensive technologies that render nuclear missiles impotent and obsolete. Its goals are to move us away from the doctrine of mutual assured destruction and to begin a transition to a nuclear-free world. Reality: The national security adviser, Robert C. McFarlane, has admitted that any defensive system will be less than perfect, and, according to Secretary of State George P. Shultz, we will have to rely on the threat of nuclear retaliation for many years to come. Supporters of the initiative stress that it will enhance deterrence by defending land-based missile silos. But even if military targets are made less vulnerable, our cities will remain hostage.
