...jumbo jets. After a 14-hr, flight from Fort Bragg, N.C., they were emerging into the 80° temperature of the Sinai Peninsula-and spearheading a new role for the U.S. in the Middle East. There was a brief delay when it was discovered that the soldiers, like careless tourists, had forgotten to fill out Israeli immigration cards. Finally, clutching their M-16 rifles, the men set off on a nine-mile march within view of the majestic rust-colored Sinai mountains to their new home, a base camp just south...
...stinging 24-page opinion, Judge Terence Evans said: "He was rough, sometimes careless. He did not possess good medical judgment." The Air Force transfer from Lackland to Milwaukee, the judge suspected, was a way "to get Dr. Stanford off its hands for a while to prohibit scandal and further dissension among the doctors."

Can we really be expected to believe that the conspirators would bring down the financial system-an act as inconveniencing to them as to the rest of the world-just because Jane and Kris (but no one else) have caught on to them...
Reagan knows that true peace in this age must rest on America's economic and military strength, and he is working to shore up both. There has been some careless war talk by the President's men and maybe a little too much saber rattling in the Caribbean and the Middle East. Yet even that has had some beneficial side effects. The President seems to have knocked the Soviets off balance a bit. If the history of the past 25 years tells us anything it is that when the Soviets are a little scared they complain bitterly...
