...state's case was hobbled early in the trial when Judge Harold Staffeldt ruled that the prosecution could submit only evidence involving Pintos manufactured in 1973; as a result, Cosentino could not present much of his evidence. Neal showed jurors exhibits and portions of nine miles of test-crash films demonstrating that the Pinto was at least as safe as rival subcompacts. Then he sprang a surprise: he produced two witnesses who testified that Judy Ann had told them just before she died that her car was stopped when it was struck by the van. Thus, argued Neal...
...regard him as too mild and conciliatory toward the Soviets. Yet Brzezinski has not assumed power, for Carter mistrusts his emotionalism and theatricality. No one fills the policy void, and decisions have to be made under pressure, sometimes by men in a state of late-night exhaustion.

I did point out to one of them once that a priest may have to keep the confessional but he doesn...
Since he is speaking in the context of SALT II, I must assume he is speaking of strategic missiles. Unless Professor Mendelsohn has access to private sources of information unavailable even to the Secretary of Defense, his figures are wide off the mark. According to Mr. Harold Brown's current defense posture statement, the United States now has 9200 warheads and the Soviet Union...
