...truck with anything that originates in Jerusalem. Israeli sources claimed that the plan had been proposed by Philip Habib, the special U.S. envoy to the Middle East. American diplomats insist that the U.S. has not put forward a comprehensive proposal. As outlined by Israeli officials, perhaps as a trial balloon they hope to shoot down, the plan involves three stages of diplomatic and military movements...
...even as he struggles to give his economic program wider credibility. Engendering a natural psychology that his sweeping economic changes would succeed was always an essential part of the program. The Administration can be faulted for not heeding the warning signals that this year's budget deficit might balloon beyond expectations, and that its defense spending plans might prove too lavish. But the rush to judgment before the first tax or budget cut even takes place is a curious reaction, particularly from those in the business and investment community who have such large stakes in a Reagan revolution that...
...more than "mildly suggestive." One problem, added Shelby Tilford, NASA'S chief of atmospheric processes, is that the amount of ozone may fluctuate with variations in the sun's ultraviolet radiation.

Equipped with a battery of sensitive devices, its gondola will move up and down like a yo-yo through the upper atmosphere, between altitudes of 12 miles and 25 miles, not only measuring the ozone but detecting chemicals that...

Will it, as the Administration hopes, create more jobs, increase productivity and incentive, reduce inflation and make American industry more competitive in world markets? Or will it, as critics charge, only make inflation worse, balloon the budget deficits, keep interest rates high, make the rich richer and hurt the poor? No one knows for sure, no more than anyone knew whether the equally controversial big spending, big deficit schemes of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal would work when they were proposed in an earlier time...
Known as hydronephrosis, the condition can lead to death for newborn babies. Normally, fetal urine flows into the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus; when the lower urinary tract is obstructed, the urine accumulates in the kidneys and bladder, which then begin to balloon, crowding the fetus' developing lungs and damaging the kidneys. In the Skinner case, doctors chose a new and promising method of treatment: surgery with the fetus still in the womb...
