...question of whether illegal immigrants take employment away from Americans or legal aliens is more complex. Many experts argue that workers without documents are concentrated in undesirable jobs that pay the minimum wage of $3.35 per hour, or sometimes less. Says Julian Simon, a professor of business and social science at the University of Maryland: "Illegals take jobs at which natives turn up their noses because they have other options." Rice's Huddle contends, however, that many illegal immigrants have enough skills to land jobs that pay more than the minimum wage. In a study of 200 illegal aliens working...
...first response to a hostage crisis by a nation unwilling to pile death + on death must be negotiation. Though Reagan has vowed never to make a deal with the terrorists, an American intelligence expert on Lebanon predicts that the U.S. may have no choice but to acquiesce in one. It would involve the release of 776 Lebanese, mostly Shi'ites, who were taken to a prison in Israel by Israeli occupation forces withdrawing from southern Lebanon. The trick would be to avoid making an exchange look like capitulation to terrorism -- for example, by securing the release of the American hostages...
Accordingly, Berri led Amal in armed clashes against Israelis, Maronite Christians, Palestinians, Sunni Muslims and former allies, the Druze. "Berri the moderate? That's absurd!" scoffs Joyce Starr, a Middle East expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies at Georgetown University.

He's not an extremist, but he's shown that he's quite willing to escalate his language -- and his actions -- to retain his position of authority in the Shia community." Still, there...
...bones, added Brazilian Forensic Anthropologist Daniel Munoz, conflicted in not a single respect with the medical records of the man who sent 400,000 people, mostly Jews, to their deaths at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland during World War II. Earlier, experts had found that the handwriting on documents discovered in Brazil corresponded to Mengele's, and that photographs found in the Bossert home matched old pictures of the doctor. Most telling of all, an advanced method of matching the reconstructed skull against old photographs convinced the investigators that they had found their man. "I came here...
...forces have engaged the contras with devastating effect, the government has not been able to move in for the kill. There are a number of reasons. Despite the assistance of several thousand Cuban military advisers, the Nicaraguan army suffers from "poor command and control," according to a U.S. military expert. Moreover, many Sandinista commanders prefer to stand off and lob rockets and shells rather than close with the enemy. Training is also slipshod: Nicaraguan draftees commonly enter the field after only two or three days of preparation...
