...Ukrainian leaders are using the nukes as a kind of diplomatic weapon. If Western powers want to see destruction of the bombs and missiles in Ukraine -- as called for by the START treaty and an exchange of pledges between Gorbachev and Bush on tactical arms -- well then, the Ukrainians hint, the West will have to grant diplomatic recognition, find some way of adding Ukraine to the START treaty and negotiate any further reductions with Kiev as well as Moscow. All this will surely complicate U.S. Senate hearings, beginning in late January, on ratification of the treaty...
...three men freed last week, only Anderson, 44, appeared to emerge whole, albeit somewhat thinner, somewhat balder and with a hint of a limp. Journalism professor Alann Steen, 52, who suffered permanent neurological damage when he was kicked by his captors for unwittingly prolonging an exercise period, will remain on medication for the rest of his life to control seizures and blackouts. University administrator Joseph Cicippio, 61, whose skull is still dented from the clubbing he received at the time of his capture five years ago, will live out his life with a burning sensation in his fingers and toes...
...approach to the facility, along a twisting, narrow stretch of County Route 601, past Heart Trouble Lane, a flashing yellow warning light and a 10- m.p.h. speed limit provide the first hint that something unusual is around the bend.

The new Superbug has no effective native predators in California, and pesticides are largely useless against it. If it continues unchecked, Imperial Valley could be put out of business for months. That could cause an estimated $200 million in farm losses by spring and higher prices at the produce counter. The wholesale price of melon has tripled, and by one reckoning, the average cost of a head of lettuce in a supermarket could go from $1.19 to about $1.50. In some areas...
...expect that of all self-generated student magazines. The danger is that it uses the means of reasoned scholarship, together with a dash of compassion and a hint of counselling, not to get at the Truth, or even to advance in dialogue toward a more comprehensive understanding, but rather as a weapon, a blunt instrument, with which to beat a discussion into submission. The piece is akin to an intellectual mugging, and all the more disturbing as the dirty deed is done in the name of Western civilization and in behalf, in part, of the Christian Church...
