Former U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential aspirant Bob Graham will spend the next academic year in the Spartan confines of Mather House, serving as a fall fellow at the Institute of Politics (IOP) and, in the spring, as a fellow at the Kennedy School of Government’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs...
...work, forensic experts in surgical scrub suits are trying to identify the bodies of the dead at a makeshift mortuary at a military barracks in east London. The work inside the white marquees has been slow, painstaking and complex, leading to criticism from families of some of the missing. Graham Russell, whose 28-year-old son Philip died on the bus, spoke for many when he told reporters: "Any delay is crucifying people." The experts are sympathetic, but argue that the identification process has been complicated by several factors. One of them is sheer size: in a typical year, London...
...death,/ no methane or anthracite, nothing to burn." Greenlaw's poems are dreams of travel and longing for home. They have the clarity and purity one associates with cold air - which makes her rare outbursts of joy and heat and light all the more dazzling.

Graham says that this year his organization spent half of its $3 million budget on pro-SDI ads in print and on television, and forecasts a budget of $5 million for next year.

Graham zigzags across the country blithely suggesting that the U.S. could build SDI (he loathes the term Star Wars) with today's off-the-shelf technology. While Graham may be the most zealous of the pro-SDi salesmen...
Supporters of SDI do not quite agree about what it is actually supposed to do. Is it meant to be a "perfect defense" or is it designed to "enhance deterrence"? President Reagan and High Frontier's Graham seem to suggest that Star Wars can render nuclear missiles obsolete by providing a foolproof shield. Rather than continuing to base security on the doctrine of mutual assured destruction, Reagan likes to say, why not aim for a world in which neither side has the capacity to destroy the other? When pressed, most proponents of SDI acknowledge that perfection is probably a pipe...
