Meanwhile, British Royal Marine commandos, backed by 7.8-ton Scorpion tanks, which move with relative ease through swampy areas, had begun their own breakout from the beachhead. Traveling eastward from Port San Carlos, they were moving along roads that were no more than rutted tracks toward the Falklands capital of Port Stanley, 50 miles away. Their aim: to launch an attack on some 7,500 troops dug in around the settlement, the bulk of the force that precipitated the South Atlantic crisis with their own invasion of the bleak islands on April...
Oriental food has its place in the sun. You can find it at Yenching at Harvard Square, Joyce Chen's at Fresh Pond, Hunan, Kabuki and Colleen's in Central Square, Ta Chien across from the Kennedy School, and Hong Kong on Mass Ave. Try Hong Kong's "scorpion bowl." Trust...
