...reduction on both sides to 300 by 1990 would leave the U.S. with less than 50 slots of its own???none of which could be filled with Tomahawks or Pershing Us, since those would be prohibited by another provision of the Soviet proposal...
Hadara, for example, has managed to work her way toward feelings of accommodation largely on her own???though not without professional help. Zion Ben-Eli, a young therapist in Nahariya, treated Hadara for several months after the incident. In the beginning she clammed up entirely, would not go to school, would not leave the house.

In the background American-made M60 battle tanks ($2 million each) rumbled on in the parade of Egyptian military might, while six French Mirage jet fighters ($2.5 million) flew overhead in tight formation...

But his fellow Republicans on the panel, who knew the reductions would draw fierce Senate opposition to Helms' entire bill, dumped it and wrote their own???which Helms then voted against.

...longer term, demand is kept high, probably too high, by a post-World War II psychological phenomenon. Americans have come to look on a home of their own???and a pretty big, detached, single-family house at that?as not just a desire but a need and almost a right. They are being unrealistic. To shelter the entire nation in spaced-out, single-family houses near metropolitan centers would be a physical impossibility; to house even a substantial portion that way is turning out to be enormously expensive...
