...strongest argument against the ATF is its cost. Speaking at a hearing of a Senate Armed Services subcommittee last week, Congressional Budget Office analyst Robert Hale declared that under its current budget restrictions, the Air Force simply cannot afford the plane. To build the full complement of ATFs will require either dropping the Multi-Role Fighter (the successor to the smaller F-16) or further reducing overall air strength...
...Hale offered a variety of strategies for coping with this shortfall, ranging from canceling the ATF and replacing it with an upgraded (but still not stealthy) version of the existing F-15s to ordering only a handful of ATFs and deploying them in a small force of killer fighters: "silver bullets" in the jargon of the field.

Last week the nervous landlord persuaded the company to stay put at $20 per sq. ft. -- 40% less than the rent Hale paid in 1989. "It's the worst overbuilding in my 22 years in the business," complains...
...immoral and unhealthy," says Rabbi Abraham Hecht, president of the Rabbinical Alliance of America. Some parents resent the loss of control over their child's decision; others think the sagging school system could put its dollars to better use. "The chancellor's primary mission is education," insists John Hale, a former member of the New York State board of social welfare. "He's not the health department...
