...meeting with the President in Reykjavik, General Secretary Gorbachev said he was now prepared for an interim agreement -- a limit of 100 LRINF missile warheads for each side, all deployed outside Europe. This was consistent with the U.S. interim proposal, although key issues remained. Thus NATO's resolve may have brought us to the point of success...
...vote, the House approved the Rhode Island Democrat's proposal, which would ultimately limit the nation's banks to a one-day hold on deposits of local checks and a four-day hold on out-of-state checks. The Senate earlier passed a similar measure that would set a more flexible schedule, and now congressional conferees must reconcile the two versions...
...what to do. She had flirted with the notion of opening a bookshop, but lacked capital. Then it was that her husband, a soft touch, took in two horrid German shepherds to board while the owners went to Europe. The dogs tormented the horses until a mare reached her limit and kicked out one dog's eye. When the owners returned, Winifred presented them with a $600 bill for feed and the veterinarian. Those funds stocked two shelves of books in her alcove. She was in business...
...spite of Administration efforts to limit the diplomatic fallout by insisting the U.S. action was "in no way a judgment against the Austrian people," the government of Chancellor Franz Vranitzky reacted with calculated displeasure. Austria pointedly recalled its Ambassador from Washington for consultations and rejected the U.S. charges as "unproven." Nor did officials in Vienna accept the U.S. view that the law excluding Waldheim permits waivers for those with diplomatic status. Said Foreign Minister Alois Mock: "You cannot differentiate between a private person and the President." But Vranitzky stopped short of canceling a scheduled visit to Washington later this month...
...they are cooled to temperatures within several degrees of absolute zero, or, as scientists prefer to designate it, 0 Kelvin. Absolute zero, equivalent to -460 degrees F or -273 degrees C, represents a total absence of heat; it is the coldest temperature conceivable. As the + metals approach this frigid limit, they suddenly lose all their electrical resistance and become superconductors. This enables them to carry currents without the loss of any energy and in some cases to generate immensely powerful magnetic fields. Scientists have recognized for years that the implications of this phenomenon could be enormous, but one stubborn obstacle...
