In the morning we crossed the river on a ferry, passing two rusted American armor-plated patrol boats moored to a . banana tree. In the Ashau Valley, denuded today, Dave fell silent. After some...

But previous attempts to seek defensive protection from nuclear delivery systems have merely spawned new types of such systems.

New Jersey Democrat Peter Rodino, Judiciary Committee chairman, has introduced an impeachment...
...proposes that long-known weaknesses in the tires, brakes and nosewheel steering of the orbiters be corrected; that all the shuttle's critical parts be reviewed; that sufficient spare parts be assembled so one shuttle would no longer be cannibalized to allow a second one to fly; that Edwards Air Force Base in California be considered the primary landing site for the orbiter rather than Florida's Kennedy Space Center, where the weather is unpredictable; and that some kind of crew-escape mechanism be considered, at least when the bird is gliding toward an emergency landing.
