...farce, Horst Bucholz was held captive by ruthless commissars intent on prying secret information out of him. He resisted, at least initially. Then the villains immured him in a room with a phonograph that kept playing over and over It Was an Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. His will frayed, his sanity shot, Bucholz broke...
...Jewish Congressmen pushed a resolution urging that the U.S. resupply Israel. One black Congressman demurred, suggesting that he was unhappy with the wording of the preamble. Koch declared, "Look, I've signed a lot of your resolutions and I never ask you to cross the t's or dot the i's. This is the crunch." The man signed...
...plutonium bomb with an estimated destructive capability of 100 to 1,000 tons of TNT. The student (portrayed by Actor John Holecek) describes the ease with which he mastered basic bomb making, sketching the structure of his bomb in a childlike doodle of two circles and a dot: "You explode the outer ring of TNT which squeezes the tamper which compresses the plutonium core, and boom."

Insurance companies, some Congressmen and several public interest groups, which contend that the stronger bumpers will hold down damage costs, oppose such a move. But they also maintain that the weighty, expensive bumpers U.S. carmakers are using are unnecessary. The bumper on the West German Opel, for instance, is as strong as the steel one on the new Ford Pinto, yet it weighs only...
