...persuaded that it would provide an impermeable shield. Says Physics Professor Alvin Saperstein of Wayne State University: "It is not a question of trusting the Russians or the Chinese. You can't trust them. But I don't trust our own military not to lead us to disaster either. If I felt the ABM were effective, I'd live with the damn thing in my back yard. But it isn't." Thus many who want Sentinel stopped favor continued exploration for technological breakthroughs that might assure a more reliable defense...
...Shaw case in court. Nor is he likely to jettison his whole investigation, which is largely bankrolled by a group of wealthy businessmen that melodramatically calls itself "Truth and Consequences."

The American Bar Association has hinted that it might want to investigate the D.A.'s "motives." Garrison's real test will take place outside the courtroom. He is up for reelection next November...
...denial was not convincing, but it raises the question of what an eccentric is in modern America-and how many of them there are.

At least the equivalent of a battalion of men were engaged on either side, and armor, artillery, mortars and heavy machine guns were employed before the battle was over. The Russians claim that 31 Soviet border guards were killed and 14 wounded; the Chinese casualties are unknown. Along any other frontier in the world, the scale of the battle would almost certainly have...
Syria's governments have been over thrown so often that there is by now a certain ritual for a coup: martial music on Damascus radio, stentorian communiqués, tanks rumbling in the streets and the losers either shot or sent into exile. Last week, as rumors of yet an other upheaval continued to pour out of Damascus, the usual signs were ab sent. In fact, the supposed new strong man, Defense Minister Hafiz Assad, even showed up in public with the men he had reportedly overthrown, President Noureddine al Atassi and Baath Party Boss Salah Jadid.
