...going to equal that of what it is in the US. Just like soccer in this country isn?t going to equal what it is in Europe. They?ve always wanted a real game in Europe. We tried over the years, the NFL has had pre-season games there and that wasn?t what they wanted...
...Allred's ruling is significant because of the flexibility available to military commissions in accepting evidence. The commission's rules, unlike those used in civilian trials, allow the admission of pre-2005 testimony gleaned during "cruel" and "inhuman" interrogations, so long as the judge deems that evidence relevant and reliable. The rules also permit hearsay evidence. The judge said he would not bar statements Hamdan made after arriving at Guantánamo, where the trial's opening arguments took place Tuesday. But he insisted that prosecutors present the interrogators involved to explain the conditions under which Hamdan made those statements...
...pods would be vulnerable: ''Hovering a couple of hundred kilometers over enemy territory is a very uncomfortable place to operate.'' In fact, the entire SDI apparatus for boost- phase sensing and shoot-down would have to be predeployed in space and would therefore be extremely susceptible to a pre-emptive enemy attack.

Nor would defenders have much time to identify and hit a missile during this initial stage. Today the Soviet...

At the conference, Walter Slocombe, who during the Carter Administration held a Pentagon post comparable to the one now occupied by Perle, agreed that ''in principle'' defending silos is ''not a bad idea.'' But, he argued, there are cheaper...
...promised Denver appearance but then met him amicably in the White House and withdrew the accusation. Willke even read a greeting from Bush to the convention. The antiabortion positions of the prospective Republican candidates differ more in emphasis than substance. Robertson and Dole want to return to the pre- Roe status, letting each state decide what limitations to place on abortions; they assume that most will restrict them. Kemp backs an amendment that would permit abortions only in situations where childbirth endangered the life of the mother. Bush would add rape and incest to the circumstances under which abortions could...
