Elliott says to me now, 'Why didn't you tell me about sex?' Well, who told me about sex? He says, 'I could have been a fag!' But I say not with that background. Not with the nice summers he spent in the mountains." Bernie himself is happier now that he has divorced Elliott's mother and married his Sweet Sixteen sweetheart, whom he met again after she had been widowed...

What has given everyone the jitters is a colorless, almost odorless nerve gas coded GB, able to kill or incapacitate human beings within seconds.

Washington has released more than a hundred ECM pods to Israel, each consisting of a bomblike container 10 ft. long and weighing about 300 lbs., which fits under the wing of a Phantom like an auxiliary fuel tank. Inside each pod are three canisters containing "noisemakers," or jammers, that radiate electromagnetic waves in the same frequencies used by the acquisition, tracking and terminal guidance systems...
