Laird carries a hawkish reputation, based partly on a book published seven years ago, A House Divided: America's Strategy Gap, which laid out an explicit better-dead-than-Red line. He still boosts the brass, as in his speech last week to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Skirting the invidious "militaryindustrial complex," usage, he said: "The military-industrial-labor team is a tremendous asset to our nation and a fundamental source of our national strength." Meanwhile he is actively engaged in putting the "team" on a slenderizing diet and preventing contractors from abusing the bidding process that has inflated...
...Queen Elizabeth who made the first determined effort to bring Ulster to heel. Hugh O'Neill and his Ulster ally, Red Hugh O'Donnell, rebelled against this effort, and their kerns and galloglasses (light- and heavy-armed infantry) won a succession of victories over the Earl of Essex, the Queen's favorite.

The title is A Really Great Movie-and it might be just that...
...game is about the same every year. Around August, the auto ads push a little harder and run more frequently. "Get a red-hot Buick at a red-hot price." Or: "The same performance. The same luxury. The same Chrysler. But at a final clearance price." Carmakers offer trips to Hawaii or Puerto Rico for the most successful salesmen and their wives; the salesmen smile more and persist longer with customers. That is what happens during the annual automobile "cleanup, when automen are anxious to get rid of last year's cars and prepare the public for the coming...
