Dave,

IP readers might want to consider this analysis of an unintended

now.

An op/ed in today's Boston Globe

Reagan's SDI is at the root of China's alleged theft of nuclear data
 (By Stephen L. Schwartz)

Despite the torrent of coverage concerning China's alleged theft of
nuclear weapons design data from Los Alamos National Laboratory, a
central question remains: Why  would Chinese espionage focus on
acquiring the technology to put multiple independently targeted
reentry vehicles atop ballistic missiles? The answer, like the
contradictory and sometimes hyperbolic allegations, dates back to the
1980s
