...army strong enough? The consensus in Warsaw: not for the long haul. In physical terms, the army and the other security forces are stretched to the limit. Said one Western diplomat, "There is not one unit or piece of equipment in reserve." Most soldiers are on 18-hr, shifts. The army is not being used to suppress strikes or break up demonstrations. A tank may be used to burst through a factory gate or fire a warning shot, but it is the militia (police) who are left to do the dirty work...

About half of the compressors used to propel gas through the pipeline are of U.S. design, and all of the 125 turbines driving them will be built by European firms under license from General Electric. In addition, the Soviets have decided to buy the equipment that will haul and lay the heavy sections of 56-inch pipe from the Caterpillar Tractor...

Two Nyack police officers who had stopped the lead vehicle, an orange U-Haul van, were shot dead by figures who leaped from the back of the van. Several of the suspects jumped into a second getaway car, a tan Honda. After it crashed three miles away, four people were arrested and all of the $1.6 million was recovered. A third car, a white Oldsmobile, sped away and was later found abandoned. Authorities began searching with bloodhounds and helicopters...
