...problem prompted computer studies of other warheads, which led to questions about the safety of a far more important weapon, the brand-new W-88 warhead carried by D-5 missiles fired by Trident II submarines. The D-5 is one of the principal weapons that would be launched at the Soviet Union in a nuclear war. Some scientists contend that the design of the third stage places too much rocket fuel too close to the warheads. Conceivably the fuel could ignite and detonate chemical explosives in the warhead while the missile was being handled in port, producing a potentially...

At one time, says Pacepa, the Securitate kept a year's worth of suits, socks and shoes stored in a special warehouse; one of each, presumably after careful inspection, was delivered daily to Ceausescu's private quarters. Once a set of clothes had been worn...
Instead of trying to restore order, local police and National Guardsmen ; apparently joined in, carting off garbage bags full of booty. British tourist Simon Schiller said he watched while a St. Croix policeman drove straight through the center of the violence in Christiansted with a brand-new refrigerator, still in its carton, in the back of his truck. To add to the chaos, when the hurricane buffeted a local prison, 200 inmates escaped and joined the free...
