- 1641: Aids In The USA
- AIDS PAPER AIDS has been an issue dealt with in the United States for 20 years. What is usually appalling when told to someone is that the American public contributed to the spread of AIDS.

- 1645: What Role Should the U.S. Play in World Defense?
- ... who has probably spent much more then they want us to know. This fact alone is scary, since only last year, the Defense Department, under the Freedom of Information Act was forced to tell the American people how much money it spent on the protection of our country since last year alone. The amount? A whopping $4 billion dollars. Since we won our independence from Great Britain in 1776, we as a nation have been involved in 5 major wars since the turn of the century, and ask yourself this question: How many of these wars directly affected our own national security, and put the American people as a whole at great risk? All of these wars have been fought on other soil, the United States has not seen a war on our own soil since the Civil War, which ended ... of course not. It seems to me that the United States was dragged into the war, not because our national security was threatened, but because our allies needed our help. The result? Almost 300,000 American men dead. The second war, and perhaps that most famous of all wars, is of course World War II. This was the war that some people feel got the United States out of the ...

- 1647: Atomic Diplomacy
- ... Nuclear weapons were part of an integrated system of containment and deterrence. Truman told Kennen in early 1947 that, "Our weapons of mass destruction are not fail-safe devices, but instead the fundamental bedrock of American security". They were never intended as first strike weapons and had no real tactical value. The bomb is purely strategic, and its value comes not from its destructive capabilities, but from its political and psychological ... bomb for bargaining purposes with the Russians. Kennen's point, of course, had been that the very decision to build the hydrogen bomb would inhibit bargaining with the Russians on international control. Most of the American national security structure viewed this as fallacious. Truman's perception was that the United States, as a technology rich, but man power short nation, was operating from a position of weakness, since necessity is relied ... of a defense posture based primarily on weapons indiscriminately destructive and suicidal in their implications".
