Washington wits say that Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger has never met a weapons system he did not like. Last week even Weinberger's patience ran out on one high-priced military project. In a tense press conference, the Secretary announced he was scrapping the Army's fault-ridden Sergeant York antiaircraft gun, making it one of the most important weapons systems to be canceled in production since the Cheyenne attack helicopter was deep-sixed in 1969. "It is not worth the costs," Weinberger said of the program, which would have totaled $4.8 billion before completion...
Despite all the planning, problems and minor conflicts arise. But Hassan is quick to point out that the fault may not lie with his crew. In some cases, students are not particularly accurate when filling out their housing applications...
Both Cassileth and Angell saw another unfortunate implication in the notion of conquering disease by positive thinking. "If the cancer spreads, despite every attempt to think positively," Angell asked, "is the patient at fault?" She pointed to remarks made by Humana Institute's Dr. Allan Lansing, who at a press conference expressed concern that Artificial Heart Recipient William Schroeder did not have the right attitude after his first stroke. The implication, she said, is that Schroeder was in some way responsible for his condition. At a time when patients are already suffering from disease, Angell concluded, "they should...
...fault such confidence? Hartman joined the show at its birth in 1975 and, as Today's Friedman admits, "changed the face of morning television." Hartman's abundant curiosity and sense of wonderment still serve him well after all these years; his narration of a flight he took in a B-1 bomber last year vividly captured the sights, sounds and fears.

...once again a ski chase. The most exotic (or should one say grotesque?) of his several love interests (or should one say sex objects?) is the black pantheresque model, Grace Jones. The villain, joylessly played by Christopher Walken, this time schemes improbably to blast open the San Andreas Fault, wiping out Silicon Valley so that he can corner the microchip market. If the picture did not carry the credits of Writers Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson and Director John Glen, one would suspect it was made by microchips making overdrafts on a depleted memory bank. It is exhausted...
