McNamara, however, argued that the thin ABM shield is "Chinese-oriented." He did not give much attention to the overwhelming probability that this country could sustain a surprise Peking attach--if China were actually rash enough to hit the U.S. with nuclear weapons--and still retaliate with sufficient force to liquidate the Chinese. Peking's harried leaders are surely aware of this. They also know that Cina cannot hope to achieve anything approaching nuclear party with the U.S. for many decades...
...Mary's biological virginity. They also point out that original sin has been taken for granted as being inherited. To explain the concept to modern man, the Dutch catechism describes it as the collective guilt in which each human being participates. The catechism adds, "We need not attach particular significance to a 'first sin' since the fact that man sins today is more important."

Although the system was designed to take some of the pressure off harried FAA controllers, they themselves have found that alpha numerics poses a few problems of its own. To feed information about a flight into the radarscope and attach that information to the appropriate blip, for example, the controller must turn away from the screen to punch buttons on a computer input box, leaving his flights unattended for several vital seconds. In addition, as the alphanumeric data blocks move with their appropriate blips across the screen, they occasionally merge with data blocks from other flights, making both sets...
