Kissinger's appointment, the first one Nixon has made to a major policymaking position, won wide praise from academe. Harvard Law Professor Adam Yarmolinsky, who spent six years at the Pentagon under John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, declared: "We'll all sleep a little better each night knowing that...
...calls "the battle of the bladder." They often run for eight hours, and if any of the senior members leaves the table before the ses sion is formally closed, the other side interprets it as a deliberate walkout. The talks are also spiced with undiplomatic language. When U.S. Army Major General Richard Ciccolella was the senior United Nations member last year, he regularly prefaced his remarks to North Korean Major General Pak Chun Kuk with the phrase: "Pak, you bastard."

Now, after dis carding several other theories, scientists have found convincing evidence that it is caused and sustained by major earthquakes...
