CIA spy satellites immediately began pointing their cameras at the mountain. Secret cables went out to CIA stations worldwide ordering case officers to collect intelligence from foreign firms Gaddafi might have enlisted for the project...

In 1979 Deng Xiaoping told the generals and admirals of the People's Liberation Army that they would have to wait 10 years before they could collect their share of the wealth created by modernization. With the military's needs relegated to the lowest rung in his grand reform scheme, the defense budget was effectively frozen, and manpower was pared down from 4 million to 3 million.

The tobacco industry and some associated industries, like U.S. Sugar, filed suit to repeal the bill; the Florida Supreme Court is expected to rule soon. Although last year Governor Lawton Chiles vetoed...
