NATO's northern flank is being probed with increasing frequency these days by Soviet forces. In addition to the dangerous game of chicken played in the air by Moscow's reconnaissance planes, Soviet warships in mounting numbers maneuver perilously close to the Danish and Norwegian coasts. The Soviet muscle flexing near the desolate Arctic Circle worries Western military officials. Warns Supreme Allied Commander in Europe Alexander M. Haig: "If you look at the current situation of strategic parity, it is evident that we are not going to be faced in the short term with a major onslaught across...
While the Danes have no territorial or diplomatic disagreements with Moscow, they are uneasy about Soviet demonstrations of military strength off their coasts. Like their Norwegian allies, Danish pilots must scramble regularly to counter Soviet incursions into their country's airspace. NATO experts are alarmed by the dramatic rise in the flow of Warsaw Pact naval strength in the region and by the gradual westward shift of amphibious exercises. Soviet, Polish and East German destroyers cruise year round at the Baltic end of the Danish Straits; Soviet destroyers patrol the Skagerrak from May to October, in effect controlling traffic...
Nuclear Balance. As Soviet amphibious exercises gradually advance toward Denmark's shores, Danes have become concerned about a surprise attack.

To prove it, he mentioned that he "owned the ship" that had secretly carried uranium for Israel. (Ert has since denied saying this.) Ert also gave his captors...
...poet must confront the Universe, cross it, and conquer it if he is to arrive at a metaphysical sense of self. No philosopher had a more playfully metaphysical sense of self than that most exoteric of existentialists, that master mirthful mentation--just in from the Danish Coast, here he is now, Ladies and Gentlemen, Soren "The Psycho" Kierkegaard. You may all stop reading now. I only introduced Kierkegaard as a further inducement for you to stop reading, primarily because I can't understand why any of you would be interested in Humor Theory, the most tedious of philosophical endeavors...
