...that Iraq, an important oil producer and supposedly proSoviet, has been making efforts "for the last five, six years, even longer than that" to develop contacts with the U.S. Partly this is because it is afraid of Iran, whoever may be in charge. And Tahtinen even saw opportunities for "lowlevel cooperation" between the U.S. and Afghanistan, which has a treaty with the U.S.S.R...
...that Senate investigators were looking into the possibility that surplus campaign funds had been used to buy the estate. That story got considerable play, but the basic allegation has never been supported.

The Shooting Stars and Mustangs, although admirable for "deck" work (lowlevel attacks), are no longer in production, and parts are hard to come by. The squadrons that fly them have had to cannibalize some of their planes in order to keep going. The pilots grouse about their dangers and difficulties, and they fiercely resent the Red sanctuaries beyond the Yalu, but they...
