...which the leaders use as a multi-purpose prop for their scenarios. Three objects make up a sort of backdrop. A sign-board carrying the number and title of the current scene expresses the movement of the play and places each scene in the whole. A map of Mukden and environs locates the action in space. A poster of Lenin indicates the dominating ideology, and shows that the whole dramatic inquest is taking place after the success of the Revolution...
...pilots continue to hurtle their F4A's and B-52s into the air, their targets known only to them as a set of map coordinates, they kill by proxy for Nixon and Kissinger, and not for us or for the people who wrote the letters to Mayor Ackermann.

The Defense Marketing Survey--the authoritative source on weapons manufacturers--calls it the "space age miracle beam of light," and its space-age potential is being developed right in Everett...
...general atmosphere of distrust between Japan and the U.S. is so great today that even the seemingly unimportant issues can set off new tremors of ill feeling. A case in point is the fate of the tiny Senkaku Islands, which lie between Okinawa and Taiwan (see map...
