There are some shortcomings, however. The Micro TAC telephone can be used for just 75 minutes before needing a recharge, while larger models permit about 2 1/2 hours of conversation...

So the communique signed by the ministers was a masterpiece of double-talk, reaffirming NATO's determination to maintain an up-to-date nuclear capability but setting no date for deploying the new missile. The ambiguous Brussels agreement was enough, however, to permit American Defense Secretary Dick Cheney to proceed with a two-year budget request for $150 million for research and development of a new weapon...

We challenge you all to take to heart the motto of the Three-Time Champion Leverett House Raft Race Corps...
