Even without nuclear warheads, the Pershing IIs, at $2 million each, are scarcely thrift-shop weapons. Indeed, the cost of filling Israel's proposed weapons order, which includes the short-range Lance missile as well as other sophisticated weaponry, will come high-and the U.S. will be called on to foot two-thirds or three-fourths of the bill in the form of grants.

She expires, however, and Husband James goes even crazier. The fire bugs stun him with a show of their united intelligence and strength. Completely snapped, Parmiter tumbles into the fissure, the bugs besieging and barbecuing him relentlessly, and the earth swallows them all up. Man was not meant for such...
