Incensed, the British began grumbling that the plane would quickly be outdated, now refer to the project as "organized scrap production." Just two months ago, they were jolted once more when Bonn chose America's Sergeant missile over Britain's Blue Water model. Out the window went $100 million and 2,000 jobs. "A lamentable mockery of the principle of interdependence in NATO," cried Tory M.P. Stephen Hastings, whose constituency includes...
