...administration has indicated that postponement of a final decision on the B-1 and MX programs is meant as a signal to the Soviet Union that the U.S. will await results from the upcoming SALT talks before proceeding with major new weapons systems. This approach is reminiscent of the Nixon administration's use of new weapons as "bargaining chips" in arms-control negotiations--a tactic that more often than not spurred Soviet efforts at developing similar weapons rather than mutual reductions at the negotiating table. Moreover, such bargaining chips frequently survive arms control negotiations and grow into full-fledged components...
...professor of Egyptian language and literature. It is equally puzzling that a serious study of Ge'ez literature is disregarded in this university; literally hundreds of thousands of ancient manuscripts of hundreds of separate religious, historical, and other literary works found in numerous libraries all over the world, await extensive scholary attention such as a university alone could provide...

His music epitomises his adopted era: scholocky lyrics about love and a family and monagamy delivered with a nasty curl of the lip and an ugly anger beneath it all. Bryan Ferry sings love songs about hate undiscriminately directed. I await his version of "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes" with interest. If that sounds like it might fit the bill, but "Viva! Roxy Music!" or Bryan Ferry's "Let's Stick Together," for your young cousin hypnotized by snakes and snails and puppy-dog's tails. Again, good head...
