dc.description.abstractWarfield prepared these notes as a handout for a class to be taught in the Spring of 1988. Because of the poor state of the American software industry and the lack of importance attached to the President's Science Advisory Council Warfield believed that President Ronald Reagan's proposed Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), nicknamed "Star Wars," was doomed to fail and could potentially cost the American taxpayers significant sums of money. Because the same type of problems plagued the Soviet Union, Warfield did not believe there was a chance the USSR would develop similar program. John N. Warfield Collection 76.42.
