- <p> As the Soviet Union slips from superpower status, some
- folks in the Pentagon must be dying to yell "We won!" GENERAL
- MERRILL MCPEAK came close. Visiting Moscow recently, the Air
- Force Chief of Staff addressed several hundred top Soviet air
- force officers, who were hoping to hear his thoughts on
- adjusting to the postnuclear era. Instead, McPeak spent much of
- his time describing the brilliant performance of the U.S. Air
- Force in the gulf war before musing, "In war, defeat is a better
- instructor than victory." O.K., so far. But then he added, "This
- is probably a Russian saying."
