By Edwin Feulner The failure of Americas intelligence community to foresee the collapse of the Iranian government has cast a serious shadow over the critical matter of verification of the expected SALT II accord with the Soviet Union. In the simplest terms, verification means: How do we know whether the other side is cheating? In his State of the Union message on January 23. President Carter said very clearly that (ignoring the merits or significant faults in the agreement itself) "SALT II will not rely on trust. It will be verifiable. We have very sophisticated. proven means to deterincluding our satellites mine for ourselves whether the Soviet Union is meeting its treaty obligations." Yet. according to experts in U.S. intelligence gathering and analysis, it is precisely our on these allegedly sophisticated electronic and mechanical tools that resulted in our failure to recognize the threat in Iran. In fagt. according to a recent study of U.S. intelligence in Heritage. Foundation's National Sa urity Record. even the best intelligence assessment program will fail short if its input comes overwhelmingly from technical sources. "In such matters we see perhaps the weakest link of technical intelligence: the temptation almost the need to rely on artificial definitions and models in order to The newsletter also give meaning to the data available." notes that while the U.S. has been relying more and more on technical means "human intelligence. ..including survei lance, clandestine collection (of data) and cosert action" has been sharply curtailed.

Those were almost always classes. Thats not true anymore. Some of these classes have more male students than females these days. Sometimes the class will be called Bachelor Survival in the school listings, and plenty of boys enroll. Why not?

Give the mothers credit. They're usually patient. But theyre also the bosses in their cookroom. So there's a time when the young people are growing that Mom must watch and fume while the stove is fuming. e So what if the upside-dowcake turns out up? Teenaged Jennifer or Junior is learning while the cake is burning. And if Mom handles the sitation well, it's one time the children will look to her as an undisputed expert. They may even pay her the ultimate teenagers compliment of asking her advice. It's not Just a lesson in cooking. Its also an experience in creativity and accomplishment.
