Police arrested a male houseguest with whom, they say, he had had a "falling...
...sinking of the Sheffield and General Belgrano attest, not easy. Modern torpedoes like the Tigerfish can be avoided only by throwing out decoys like big air bubbles, using acoustic countermeasures like sonar jamming or, better yet, sinking the attacking submarine. But deep-diving nuclear attack submarines and the noiseless Tigerfish are hard to detect until it is too late. Similarly, the Sea Skua and Exocet antiship missiles are almost impossible to evade.

The Tug Fork Valley, boosters chime, is THE HEART OF THE BILLION...
...women comfortable with the changes that have taken place and those that lie ahead. She writes: "One fine morning, I realized that the two feet I was standing on were not my own. Rectifying this awkward situation has taken a number of years and a lot of quiet screaming, noiseless foot stamping and what some peolle like to call plain hard work." Others are determined to carry on their self-evaluation until they too reach a point where they understand why they made the choices they did in 1956 and which options they should choose now. Together, they will join...
