...Three. There is Soviet equipment in Egypt-four MiG-25s, and a Soviet manned station for electronic warfare. You should either sell these to us or take them back to the Soviet Union...
...main considerations is the vast Soviet air defense network, largest in the world. Some 6,000 radar installations stretch from Murmansk to Vladivostok for early detection of a U.S. attack. The Soviet force of 5,000 interceptor aircraft includes 200 formidable MiG-25s, known as Foxbats, which have a top speed of 1,800 m.p.h. and a maximum altitude of close to 80,000 ft. In addition, the Soviets have about 12,000 surface-to-air missiles-low-level SA-3s and SA-6s and high-level SA-2s and SA-5s-at more than 1,000 sites...

Gypsies, carhops, farmerettes and Hindu goddesses have all been the Look, more or less, at one time or another. It was a splendid trip for the under-25s, but their elders retired almost unanimously into pantsuits, or simply brazened it out in the Little Black Dress that has reigned as the basic classic for more than a generation. Now, as autumn clothes fill department store racks, the classic look seems to be newly fashionable...
