...launchers. With the more far-fetched "Orbital Basing," MX warheads would be put into orbit only after a Soviet missile launching, and the U.S. warheads could then be directed at Soviet targets at the Government's discretion. The extra time to make momentous decisions would be valuable; the delay in deciding where to put the missiles...
...week's end Reagan's advisers were professing private optimism that Haig could work out something to avert or at least delay an armed clash. But the President confined his own comments to asserting limply that "we are friends of both sides in this." Reagan was trapped between the U.S. reliance on Britain as its staunchest supporter and his strategy of wooing Latin American states that take a strong anti-Communist line.

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...
Claiming that changes in personnel and the loss of Brutus's file had caused the long delay, the INS denied Brutus's visa request in January 1981 and set a deadline of March 5 for his voluntary departure from the United States. Besides the lateness of his application, the major reason the INS gave for its decision was that Brutus had accepted permanent employment as a tenured professor while his visa only granted him temprorary residence...
