	SecDef Histories - Caspar Weinberger
		Caspar W. Weinberger, President Ronald Reagan's choice to be the fifteenth secretary of defense, was born in San Francisco on 18 August 1917, the son of a lawyer.
		Weinberger also had to meet the argument of some critics, including arms control advocates, that testing and deploying the projected defensive system would violate the ABM Treaty, which limited the United States and the Soviet Union to one antiballistic missile defense system for their capitals and one ICBM launch site each.
		Weinberger had not favored U.S. participation, consistent with his view that troops should be committed only when vital to U.S. interests and with clearly defined objectives, but he acknowledged that it had been a success when the force withdrew in September.

	Human Events: life and triumphs of Caspar Weinberger, The (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Caspar Weinberger is an elephant who really knows his subject: He was a major political and historical player; a public servant of distinction (serving three Presidents and California's governor), as well as winning office in his own right.
		Although Weinberger, being a high-end politico, seems an unlikely source for "a memoir of the 20th Century," his memoir, In the Arena, is a remarkably straightforward, modest, and generally earnest account of his life through the last 80 plus years of the 20th century.
		Weinberger's narrative of his serving President Reagan as secretary of defense is a bit uneven: rich in details of a pedestrian sort, exceptionally good with policy descriptions and explanations, but oddly scanty on the big picture and momentous events of Reagan's two terms.

		Weinberger reveals his participation in the sentencing of Jonathan Pollard as a deeply unethical move on the part of the sentencing judge to deprive Pollard of his constitutional right to due process.
