...version of America's Viet Nam. While the problems that would be faced by Soviet troops fighting in a country just across the Soviet border could hardly equal those confronting G.I.s embattled 10,000 miles from the U.S. (to say nothing of the Soviet regime's ability to crush all domestic antiwar criticism), the Afghanistan adventure could become more than Moscow bargained for. One thing the U.S. could do, suggests Dimitri Simes, a Russian emigre who is a Soviet affairs expert at Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and International Studies, is to launch...
Joseph Phelps Vineyard. A medium-size winery (170 acres) with an annual crush of some 45,000 cases, Phelps is known for its fruity, aromatic Riesling.

During his reign, the Shah made us economically dependent on the U.S. and turned Iran into a bankrupt state. Our industry is dependent on the West. He has destroyed our agriculture. Politically, he toed the U.S. line...
...electrified fence. Max (Richard Gere) and Horst (David Dukes) must carry heavy rocks from one side of the prison yard to the other, drop them in a pile and then carry them back. This task of inspired idiocy is designed not only to break their bodies but to crush their minds and spirits. Their crime: being homosexuals...
