...When Harold Brown took office in January, he was leaning toward the B1. Said he: "The big advantage [of a manned bomber] is that it complicates the other side's problems. The question is how much can you afford to pay for that as compared to the other ways you could spend the funds." Brown had served as Air Force Secretary in the Johnson Administration and believed thoroughly in the manned bomber as an essential element of the American strategic triad (the other two: land-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles and sea-launched missiles). Even earlier, as the 33-year...
...used as a "standoff' bomber as opposed to a "penetration" bomber. The standoff bomber's mission is to deliver cruise missiles to within range of its targets. It would stop short of Russian borders and fire salvos of missiles to overwhelm Soviet defenses. According to Defense Secretary Harold Brown, all major targets in the U.S.S.R. are within range of cruise missiles fired in this manner...
...been a "flurry of firings" of homosexuals in Dade County and that at least one state legislature -Oklahoma's-has passed a resolution endorsing Bryant's position.

TAKE ALL the bad movies you have ever seen and put them together, and you may come up with something approaching the total worthlessness of The Other Side of Midnight. The film is a cinematic version of the kind of novels that Harold Robbins and Jacqueline Susanne write--packed with romance, sex and adventure, protrayed in the most tasteless and cliched manner. It's the type of movie that P.R. men probably would advertise as "epic," meaning that it's long (a gruelling two hours and 45 minutes), lavish and full of lurid scenes. The Other Side of Midnight...
