Given the amount of shooting, it was amazing that nobody was seriously wounded. One bullet hit Sergeant Edward Connors in the back, but he was saved by a flak jacket from anything worse than a bad bruise. By midmorning the guns had fallen all but silent. By early afternoon every plan, gambit and technique tried by the police had failed. They had attempted to bash in the front door. They tried to drill 2-in. holes through the exterior walls in hopes of pumping in tear gas, but were driven away by gunfire from inside the Move house. They tried...
More than anything else, the late Howard Hughes loved airplanes. In 1932 he founded Hughes Aircraft, which manufactured the Winged Bullet that Hughes piloted to a U.S. transcontinental speed record of 7 hr. 28 min. at an average speed of 327 m.p.h. The company also built the famed "Spruce Goose," the eight-engine plywood plane that flew just once, with Hughes at the controls. Now a major defense contractor based in El Segundo, Calif., Hughes Aircraft is an important producer of satellites and missiles. It has high-security factories, where some of America's brightest engineers work on advanced military...
...summary power of forgiveness resides with God alone. After that, forgiveness gets personal. Pope John Paul II could forgive Mehmet Ali Agca, the man who shot him. The bullet hole in his abdomen gave him the authority to do that. So, in a sacramental way, did his ordination as a priest.

Nor can he forgive SS men for what they did in Europe while Reagan was making Army training films...
Going some place in a feverish hurry, though exactly where is the next question, a bay bullet called Spend A Buck streaked away with the Kentucky Derby last week, posting the third-sprightliest mile and a quarter (2:00 1/5) in 111 springs at Churchill Downs. Stephan's Odyssey finished second, more than five lengths behind, and the 6-to-5 favorite, Chief's Crown, was third. Far up the track, or at least it seemed so, came that old plug tradition, which may be losing ground even...
...most intriguing aspect of No Magic Bullet's is Brandt's analysis of the military's campaign against V.D. On the eve of World War I, the stereotypical macho image of men in uniform rang true; in 1917 the War Department was so alarmed by training camp reports of drunkenness and carousing with wanton women that it promised soldiers "invisible armor" to protect them against the "heated temptations" of immorality. A Commission on Training Camp Activities was created with the objective of not only cleaning up the extra-curricular activities of the soldiers but using the American military...
