...four armored divisions, equipped with heavy T-72 tanks and BMP and BMD armored personnel carriers, was also dug in near Kabul; the three others were fanned out at Kandahar in the south, Herat in the northwest and Kunduz in the northeast. American intelligence experts were puzzled by one facet of the Soviet deployment: each division had a full complement of chemical-biological-radiological warfare decontamination units. The most plausible explanation seemed to be that the decontamination units were regularly assigned to the divisions and, in the methodical Soviet way, had to go with the troops even if there...
Barham, 50, is a former sharecropper and aircraft worker who founded the Church of the Facet of Divinity four years ago.

The bulk of Harvard education is of the mass-production, assembly-line variety. Oh, there are tutorials and House seminars and colloquia and conference courses and independent studies. But by their nature--and Harvard's unwillingness...
...least, become love's labor's cost. Taylor, taking advantage of changing markets as well as men, quietly sold the stone for nearly $3 million to New York City Jeweler Henry Lambert. Two bidders, neither of them American, are dealing with Lambert for the clear white, 58-facet stone. Both want the diamond as an investment; for them, unlike Burton, love is never having to say you were starry...
