...Soviet nuclear attack on the U.S. could entail an intercontinental blitzkrieg: thousands of missiles launched from enemy territory, letting loose tens of thousands of deadly warheads surrounded by a nebula of hurtling decoys and debris. In half an hour, this lethal ''threat cloud'' would be over the U.S., raining destruction on cities and military targets alike. Trying to stop this deluge would require enormous technological breakthroughs in at least four areas: sensors, lasers, particle beams and computer programming. Should such advances occur, SDI proponents argue, a reasonably effective Star Wars defense would reduce to virtually zero the number of Soviet...
...worked with typical speed and intelligence, learning six major roles, three of them in full-length ballets. Says the A.B.T.'s Tchernichova, with whom Ferri now studies: ''In Act I of Giselle she is like Anna Magnani when she goes mad. In Act II she is like a cloud.'' SYLVIE GUILLEM.

They are now raising their own families, and I expect that when their very young children are a bit older, they will do the same with them. Children learn an enormous amount from their parents; they should have the chance to learn responsible drinking from them as well. Edward...
