...Connery lost the cocky wisecrack which so typified his portrayal of Bond and which Moore never seemed to master. When a bomb explodes in his room, Connery, snuggling a woman just across the yard, tells her they made the right choice--"between your place and mine." And when Fatima, with a gun pointed at Bond's testicles, asks him if she was his best lover ever, he replies with that classic Connery shit-eating grin, "Well, there was this girl in Philadelphia...
...overall nuclear arsenals by 45% by 1996. The key to the plan is a new unit of destructive power called Standard Weapons Station (SWS), which was developed by retired Air Force Lieut. General Glenn Kent. In its simplest form, an SWS represents a warhead atop a ballistic missile, a bomb on a plane, a self-propelled cruise missile. Kent's plan includes complex formulas so that oversize warheads count extra. So do multiple warheads that are clustered on top of missiles with particularly powerful lifting capability, known as "throw-weight." The details are still being honed in Washington...
...Green in 1980. '81 and '82. Last year's defeat was probably the most excruciating for the Crimson. Greeted with the most hostile New Hampshire weather imaginable, Harvard struggled to stay close with its third-string quarterback (the others were hurt), was burned on a 68-yard bomb for a TD (the longest pass in the 86-game history of the series) and finally lost, 14-12, when a two-point conversion attempt after a Crimson touchdown failed with three minutes left...

And when White scrambled out of bounds at the 22 with 07 left he set the stage for Villanueva...
Thus began what jubilant I.R.A. supporters quickly dubbed the "Great Escape." The 38 men-convicted killers, bomb experts and kidnapers from the I.R.A.'s militant Provisional wing-had broken out of the compound considered until then to be perhaps the most escape proof in Europe. The biggest prison break in British history triggered one of the largest manhunts ever seen on either side of the Irish border. In Dublin, Irish authorities ordered increased surveillance of the rugged border area to prevent fugitives from reaching traditional sanctuaries in the counties of Sligo, Donegal, Monaghan, Leitrim and Louth. In Ulster, security...
