description: Another look backward (or maybe sideways) by the hawks connected to the US defense establishment and the RAND Corporation. This time they're telling us about the horrors of the Soviet economy and their unquenchable military. No mention is made of Soviet military cutbacks, the lack of same by the US, or American political and military efforts to provoke just this sort of crisis in the Soviet economy.
