"This research supports joint DOE/DoD requirements for a viable
nuclear weapons sustainment and modernization policy into the
twenty-first century. It focuses on a three-part modernization and
rejuvenation program for the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, the
associated DOE infrastructure, and the DOE manpower/technical base,
making the case for improvements to each in a manner that will
further U.S. national interests. This program has been designed to
achieve broad political and popular support, support national and
international nonproliferation efforts, and enable a reduction in
the U.S. nuclear stockpile -- while maintaining the efficacy of
nuclear weapons and nuclear deterrence as a vital mission to the
national security. It also stresses the importance of fulfilling
extended deterrence commitments to allies as a means to preclude
proliferation."--Abstract from web site.
The essential mind-mysteries are the subject of Vance's poems.
Themes of mutability, maturation, discovery, and delight are
projected through brilliant archetypal imagery controlled and
perfected by a striking technical assurance. The poems are
concentrated and sometimes demanding, but they are never obscure
and they go deep. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press
