Which is only to say that The Goonies is as hip, sassy and innocent as its seven teenage heroes. In the Spielberg tradition, each youngster uses his or her ordinary strengths to forge, and then save, a community of lost souls. Wise-Guy Mouth (Corey Feldman) translates the Spanish on an old map; Data (Ke Huy-Quan) gets out of scrapes with his Rube Goldberg gadgets; pretty Andy (Kerri Green) plays the Death Organ; Stef (Martha Plimpton) socks a crone on the jaw; Chunk (Jeff B.

...thought views the open acknowledgment of new nuclear arsenals as not such a bad development, especially in the case of Israel. Officially, Jerusalem's long-standing position is that it will not be the first country in the Middle East to introduce nuclear weapons to the area. Shai Feldman, an expert on strategy at Tel Aviv University, argues differently. He contends that "you can only have a credible nuclear deterrent if the other side believes you have the capability and the will to employ nuclear weapons under certain circumstances.

In the Middle East, or in any other Third World context, atomic weapons and their delivery vehicles would be cruder and more vulnerable.

The rest of the book, he added, contained "mistakes of every possible kind." With this new evidence in hand, Turner and Feldman set out in earnest to expose Abraham's work. They wrote to Catholic University in Washington, where Abraham was under consideration for hiring, and Feldman attached Nocken's findings. The job evaporated. Abraham lost another opportunity at the University...
Historians, however, remained polarized over both Abraham's work and the attacks against him. Feldman said, "What Abraham has done disqualifies him as a member of the profession." Other academicians were deeply troubled by the spectacle of powerful, tenured scholars coming down on a young man at the most vulnerable point in his career...
