...proposing itself as a mediator in the current war, the U.S. is trying to portray itself as a neutral third party. Clearly, this is far from the truth. As U.S. corporate interests dictate that whatever changes take place be not too radical, Washington will only advocate minor changes. But the people led by the FSLN will continue to fight until the entire National Guard is defeated and dismantled, and a new national army that really represents and protects the interests of the Nicaraguan people is formed. Until that day, Nicaragua will remain a tiny country caught in the clutches...
...consider that "it is right to have peace with people of the book," as Jews and Christians are also considered by Islamic scholars. Cairo's strategy, as a result, will be to proceed unilaterally with peace talks, which are likely to end up in the U.S. as a neutral site. Sadat could then present fellow Arabs with a fait accompli. An Egyptian diplomat told Wynn last week: "Once the Israelis begin withdrawing and handing over land to us, we simply will ask the other Arabs a question: 'Do you want us to give Sinai back to the Israelis...

Iranian and Pakistani officials are certain that the coup was instigated by Moscow. After more than a century as a neutral buffer state in the great game, Afghanistan, they say, is now a Soviet satellite. "We, Pakistan, are now the buffer state," argues a foreign office man in Islamabad...
...latest work the Princeton physicists exceeded their own expectations. The addition of four high-power "neutral beam" injectors, developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, pumped extra energy into the hot plasma, and a shrewd switch to graphite from tungsten in critical components of the torus' vacuum chamber reduced heat loss. The director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Melvin Gottlieb, is now convinced that the break-even point can be reached with Princeton's new and bigger torus, slated to begin operation...
Jacobson's wife, Georgia May, a schoolteacher at Warwick's Gorton Junior High School. On paper, operating the sub seems, well, child's play. Merely a matter of opening a few valves to let water into the ballast tanks until the S 250 has achieved "neutral buoyancy," then directing the thrust of two exterior electrical pod engines by manipulating two handles inside the hull, placed below and forward of the seated driver like the handle bars of a racing bike...
