Town elders Mandy Torpedoes (Mark Graham) and Mayor John Overflow (Ty Christopher Warren) grudgingly release their two captives to assist the oh so devout Amos Behavin (William Nicholas Weit) on a search-and-destroy mission to an alleged witch haunt. The Mortal Inn. (The directions to the inn sound curiously like the route to Jordan's Furniture Waitham.) A few contraception jokes and the ubiquitous stick-it-to-the nearby women's college slam--"A.B. from Harvard, VD from Wellesley" later, the trio arrive at the inn, supposedly the nest of a bevy of premisenous. In fact, this...
...lives long enough to give birth. So the Terminator is out to perform a "retroactive abortion"; and another time traveler, Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), has followed him to save John's prospective mother and terminate the Terminator.

Then, while helping U.S. aces dodge hills and other obstacles, LANTIRN would spot enemy targets and automatically program air-to-ground missiles on an instantaneous search-and-destroy mission. To be sure, the LANTIRN program's price tag was $1 billion, but if it did what its designer, the Martin Marietta Corp. in Bethesda, Md., said it could do, it might have been worth the big bucks. Such a gadget would, for instance, have brought a speedy...
...conducting an invasion, an act of aggression, and we feel the U.S. should have the courage to condemn it," said a French diplomat. The trigger for the complaints: the U.S.'s lone vote in the U.N. Security Council last week against condemning South Africa's massive search-and-destroy mission in Angola. The assault was aimed at guerrillas of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), who are fighting for the independence of Namibia, a territory administered by South Africa...
