SOME CHARGE YOU ARE MOTIVATED BY ANTI-AMERICANISM. I've known the U.S. for a long time. I visit often, I've studied there, worked as a forklift operator for Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis and as a soda jerk at Howard Johnson's. I've hitchhiked across the whole United States; I even worked as a journalist and wrote a story for the New Orleans Times-Picayune on the front page. I know the U.S. perhaps better than most French people, and I really like the United States. I've made many excellent friends there, I feel good there...

...simply how much should be spent but how it should be spent. Some 34 weapons systems were initially killed, mainly by the House, but the conferees ended up restoring twelve of the major ones. Those that failed to regain funding were mostly "systems" that scarcely deserved the term: 250 forklift trucks (costing $26.3 million) and 1,413 motorcycles ($5.6 million), for example. Ironically, virtually the only concession granted by the Senate was to go along with the desire of the House to spend $100 million more for research on a future weapon: the mobile, single-warhead Midgetman intercontinental ballistic missile...
