...service, so MCI petitioned the federal district court in Philadelphia, and won. Had MCI lost, AT&T could have nipped the growing competition in the bud: fewer clients would pay for MCI lines if they could phone only their own offices in other cities. AT&T then attempted to delay further court orders that it grant MCI its services. Last week the Third Circuit Court of Appeals rejected A T & T's request. Bell plans to carry on the legal fight, but meanwhile, MCI-and at least two dozen similar tieline specialists-seem likely to grow into something more...
Presidential Counsel St. Clair issued a statement arguing that to give more materials to Jaworski would result in "delaying grand jury deliberations many months." St. Clair did not explain how additional evidence would slow, rather than speed indictments. The statement did, however, fit the current presidential defense strategy, which is to push publicly for a fast end to the many Watergate investigations, while acting privately to stall and delay any quick resolution of Nixon's own fate.

One mother bomb can saturate an area the size of ten football fields with lethal shrapnel. Time-delay fuses are designed to explode some bomblets before they hit the earth so as to kill those sheltered in trenches; other bomblets don't explode until well after the air raid, when medical assistance has entered the bombed area...
Honeywell continues to seek and gain arms contracts; new contracts made for 1973 and 1974 included provisions to manufacture delay fuses for Air Force M-117 bombs, the BLU-26/B "guava bomb," the Rockeye bomb, rocket targeting systems, infra-red sensors used in the electronic battlefield, and a "thin wall fragmentation mechanism." Honeywell takes the profits from these contracts, and when challenged on its responsibility for overseas murder, says, as in 1972, "The ultimate decision as to types and quantities of weapons to be available and used must be the responsibility of the Department of Defense." This disclaimer could...
...example, the phrase "goals and accomplishments" has been substituted for "terminal objectives." Superintendent Estes also hired a freelance writer last November to write yet another supplementary pamphlet, which in effect will explain the explanation. At last report the writer was only halfway through the job. Reason for the delay: he is having difficulty understanding the manual...
