SUPERIORITY MAINTAINED
CV.Z.P.A. -Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, April 16. The United States continues to maintain nuclear weapons superiority, despite the Soviet Union’s impressive build-up of inter-continental ballistic missiles, according to the Institute of Strategic Studies. But in spite of her great power, America’s authority and influence in the world is declining, largely because of internal racial strife and the Vietnam war, the institute reports. “The United States in 1967 was richer and more powerful and, perhaps, more uncertain of herself than at any time since the Second World War,” the institute's report says. “As a military power, the United States has never been stronger at almost every level of military response, and she is likely to become stronger still.”
