When the Scotland Yard sentinels show no sign of leaving. Stewart is forced to come forth with an explanation. The object of this stakeout is Bob and Barbara's best friends, the Krogers, a Canadian couple linked to a Russian spy Stewart offers profuse assurance that he has no evidence to link the Krogers, but one must be sure, mustn't one? Barbara, despite her deep reservations about the spy business, cannot summon the courage to oppose the self-assured Stewart. She becomes sucked into the labyrinth of espionage-age paranoia; lying to her daughter, to her best friend...
...rattled, and my three dogs started barking." What Sotkajarvi apparently saw in the early afternoon of Dec. 28 was a runaway cruise missile fired from either a submarine or a ship during Soviet naval maneuvers in the Barents Sea, northeast of the Scandinavian Peninsula.

Why do you think all exams insist at the top, "Illustrate"; "Be specific"; etc.? They mean it. The illustrations, of course, need not be singularly relevant; but they must be there...
...object to his caricaturing of the Religious Right. His implication that the pro-life movement does not care to make it easy on pregnant women is false. The latest issue of the Moral Majority Report carries an article calling on all pro-lifers to remember their duty to help the pregnant mother through her time of troubles with outreaches of charity and compassion. Mr. Gooen should visit the number of pro-life clinics here in the Boston area, such as Daybreak, or at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, to see the compassion that is offered to women undergoing the pain...
