...Current missiles, which rest in silos scattered throughout the country, are considered sitting ducks for a new generation of Soviet land-based missiles that are highly accurate and obscenely powerful.

The missile would be randomly moved around on its tracks and have the capacity to be launched from any point within the tunnel. Since the Soviets would never know what portion of the trench to target, this feature of the MX would insure...

What motivates many terrorists, observes University of Munich Political Scientist Kurt Sontheimer, is "a deep hatred of present society. They talk vaguely of socialism, but they...
Quick now: Who wears $700 white suits, balloons on his head, an arrow through his skull, rabbit ears and a rubber nose and is forever afflicted by uncontrollably buck-and-winging "happy feet"? "Hey, we're havin' sommmme fuuun," he chortles. Pregnant pause. "Hey, this guy is really... crazy! By now, any halfway clued-in cultist should recognize silver-haired Steve Martin, 32, a Dadaesque philosopher turned goofball...
