Abstract
The Reagan administration's plan to install medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe has aroused a wide spectrum of international opposition which recently has been given considerable publicity in the United States. A quarter of a million people marched against the missiles in Bonn on October 10. Similar large-scale protest marches with distinctly anti-American overtones were held two weeks later in Paris, London, Brussels, and Rome. On September 13, amid a flurry of guerrilla attacks on U.S. personnel and bases in West Germany, over 7,000 riot police were needed to guard Secretary of State Haig from at least 50,000 demonstrators in West Berlin, and in the ensuing turmoil hundreds were arrested and over 150 police injured.
