...hang on as long as possible. Theirs is a truly collective leadership. All important decisions are made by consensus. That certainly includes any decision about which of them should be first among equals. While a retouched newspaper photograph here or a discordant note in a speech there may hint at squabbles and realignments, and while Brezhnev's possible heir, Andrei Kirilenko, may seem to be up one week and down the next, there is little doubt that whoever eventually succeeds Brezhnev will be a Brezhnevite, drawn from the ranks of the present inner circle. Meanwhile, it is easier...
...diplomatic friction between Washington and Bonn eventually led to fears that Bonn's assertively independent approach, which French Pundit Raymond Aron dubbed "Gaullism in a minor key," might prove a threat to Western solidarity. The first hint that West Germany might possibly be distancing itself from NATO was delivered by a leading figure of the left wing of Schmidt's own Social Democratic Party.

Luckily for Alien's creators, such ingredients are not really essential at the nation's box offices, especially during the sunstroke season...

Consider the long years of learning and not earning, the killing hours and loss of contact with family." A few doctors indeed hint that they are underpaid?or observe that they earn less than corporation chiefs and top sports stars, though their value to society is at least as great. Whatever one may think of that argument, the physicians' attitude obviously does nothing to hold down medical costs...
