Threats to Soviet security have been, and still remain, much greater than those to U.S. security. The U.S. faces a non-defensible nuclear threat from the Soviets, yet no direct conventional threat by land, sea, or air; we face the Canadians to the north, the Mexicans to the south, and Cuba and the Bahamas to the east. In comparison, the Soviet Union similarly faces a non-defensible nuclear threat from the U.S. as well as from France, Britain, and China. The perceived non-nuclear threats are also considerable: the Germans in the west, having marched through Soviet territory twice...
...pending agreements from the SALT talks, ongoing now for a decade, will limit for the first time all strategic nuclear delivery vehicles--ICBM and SLBM launchers, heavy bombers, and long-range air-to-surface ballistic missiles--to 2400, eventually to 2250. The U.S. currently possesses about 2100 such systems, the Soviets about 2500; it will thus require the Soviets to reduce by about 250 missile launchers...
...about what he knew or had seen, whom he interviewed and what he had learned. But he refused to tell Herbert's lawyers about his conversations with Wallace, or why he decided to believe certain sources but not others, or how he chose what to put on the air and what to leave in the cutting-room. A lower court ordered him to comply, and CBS appealed. Somewhat surprisingly, the network won a sweeping victory in 1977 from a federal court of appeals: an absolute privilege to refuse to answer any questions about editorial thoughts or conversations. "Faced with...
...impression is of sheer confidence. The black and white carries an air of nostalgic romance, and it suits Allen's character in the film, who has, as Woody says, "the poignancy of age. He raps contemporary mores. He's clinging to Gershwin, the music of the past and to black and white." Beyond that, Allen lets long scenes play without break. The camera often just sits on its haunches and stares, without even a close-up or a reverse angle intruding. Variation comes from movement within the frame; sometimes, in fact, the actor moves right out of it, keeps talking...
...system. Up to now, such systems have generally been confined to remote and inaccessible locations where the costs of providing conventional power are prohibitive. For example, in California solar cells generate energy for Coast Guard buoys, rural water pumps, VHF telecommunications relay towers, automatic weather stations and even an Air Force radar station. In addition, Kansas oil wells use solar electricity to inhibit the rusting of metal; a remote Arizona Indian reservation gets its power from cells, and even the Saudi Arabian government plans to line its Jidda-Riyadh highway with 400 solar-powered emergency call boxes...
