...same thing. Jane's Yearbooks, London publisher of the authoritative guides to weapons systems, and the influential U.S. publication Aviation Week & Space Technology report that American and Russian scientists are stepping up efforts to develop weapons that until recently existed only in science fiction. They all depend on the laser, a device capable of generating a beam of light so powerful it can serve as a death...
...that shark may become as popular as Mali-Mali, a dolphin dish that has become a prized delicacy in Hawaii and the West.

...from 21 years of experience with New England winters I can guarantee that yesterday was meteorological aberration of the first order. When I was a little kid going to grammar school near here, I could depend on at least a half-dozen days every winter when the snow was too intense to even think about taking in the mail, never mind tunneling over to school...
