Soviet List
So the Soviets' list of their own stra-
tegic weapons matches U.S. intelli-
gence estimates [Whispers, June 25]. If
this is due to the quality of U.S. intelli-
gence, fine. But there is another possi-
bility. The Soviets undoubtedly would
like us to believe that the Pentagon has
an accurate count of their weapons.
Might they not have gained access to
our intelligence estimates in time to
adjust their figures to match?
