...plans have been proposed. One is to land the crude at Long Beach, Calif., and pump it into Sohio's idle California-Texas gas pipeline, which would feed pipeline systems in the energy-short Midwest. Environmentalists object that vapors from unloading tankers would further foul California's air...
...average of three times monthly, a Soviet Tu-16 "Badger" reconnaissance jet roars off from the world's largest military base, just outside Murmansk, and heads westward to probe Norway's air defenses.

On the Kola Peninsula, the Soviets regularly carry out increasingly sophisticated amphibious exercises. The silhouettes of Soviet nuclear...
