...West German army's contingency plans in case of war with the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact, ammunition distribution plans, NATO and Bundeswehr analyses of the Pact's strengths and weaknesses, and plans for development of a new generation of West German tanks scheduled to replace the current Leopard models in the 1980s...
There were tribal dancers and gymnastics displays and, on the stroke of midnight, a 101-gun salute. The South African flag was lowered; in its place was raised a banner of blue with a diagonal orange stripe and an inset of a leopard's head. In Mmabatho, the new capital carved out of the bush, the crowd roared its approval as President Lucas Mangope, head of the new government, declared that "at last we are no longer helplessly at the mercy of the arbitrary arrogance of those who until this hour trampled our human dignity into the dust...
...tanks of NATO nations, including the 58-ton American M60. Top speed of the T-72 is 43 m.p.h. on level ground. Some Western armor experts fear the T-72 may be able to outperform laser-equipped tanks, such as the British Chieftain, the West German Leopard 2 and the older U.S. M60 A2, now deployed in Western Europe; none of these possess as sophisticated a targeting system as the new Soviet model's.

...Baby. One of the all-time great screwball comedies. Cary Grant stars as a shy, befuddled paleontologist whose placid existence is completely upset by a one-woman whirlwind. Katherine Hepburn is the whirlwind, a rich, young New Yorker who enlists Grant's aid in caring for Baby, her pet leopard. Kate and Cary spend two hours ostensibly chasing Baby, Kate's dog George, and a bone Grant needs to complete a dinosaur skeleton; Kate, of course, is on the prowl for bigger game. Hepburn and Grant are at their comic best, and Howard Hawks' brilliant, fast-paced direction puts...
...Minister of Health. Written with the help of a former Reuters correspondent, John Man, A State of Blood is full of sensational detail. Kyemba reports for instance that Amin has experimented with cannibalism. "I have eaten human meat," he once remarked. "It is very salty, even more salty than leopard meat." Although Amin's bizarre behavior has been attributed to the prolonged effects of syphilitic infection, Kyemba is not so sure: "He knows well enough how to stage-manage his rages." In 1973 a French television crew photographed him in high fury, threatening to shoot some of his ministers...
