...Forces. In December 1979, NATO members agreed to the deployment on the Continent of 572 U.S. Pershing II missiles and ground-launched cruise missiles, GLCMS or Glickums. These would be capable of reaching all of Eastern Europe and some of western Russia. These weapons were to counterbalance the SS-20s, which the Soviets had begun targeting on Western Europe. Without some such force, there would be a wide gap in the NATO arsenal between "tactical" or battlefield nuclear weapons, and the intercontinental weapons. The NATO TNF will not be ready for deployment until 1983. Meanwhile, the Soviets are steadily deploying...
...service is expensive, and million-dollar fees for a few weeks' work are common. According to one estimate, investment bankers this year will earn $500 million from the 60 largest corporate couplings.

The job paid $11,000 a week before "the age of taxes, accountants, business managers and tax shelters [when] the make-it-and-spend-it philosophy ruled the town." He discovered the "It" girl, Clara Bow, and the German character lead Emil Jannings; he promoted the careers of people as diverse as Director Ernst Lubitsch and the Marx brothers. Yet, by his mid-40s he had flamed...
...more committees. Hammett had always claimed to be a Marxist and a Socialist--and put no faith in the Fascism that increasingly crept into Stalin's Russia. But such subtleties were lost on the zealots. Marxism was considered synonymous with godless, atheist Ivans. The labor movements of the '20s and '30s simply did not translate...
