- Old habits die hard. Military experts in the former
- Soviet Union were mighty uncomfortable last week about the
- prospect of sharing their most important secrets with the team
- of U.S. technicians arriving to help dismantle their nukes.
- Meanwhile, American officials are concerned that unemployed
- experts in nuclear weaponry, aircraft design and other military
- technology may be tempted to hire out their skills. Washington
- has no intention of drafting all that talent but has drawn up
- a list of those the U.S. would like to see stay put. Part of the
- $400 million appropriated by Congress for nuclear-disarmament
- assistance may go for salaries for the key wizards. Sort of like
- a high-stakes version of paying American farmers not to plant
- crops.
