...continue their present programs while the U.S. stands pat, there will inexorably come a point when Soviet forces equal and then surpass the U.S. in total numbers of offensive nuclear warheads. That is an updated version of the 1960 missile-gap worry. The problem with it is that neither side can now know the other's intentions concerning additional weaponry...
CHARITIES. Going along with the House, the committee agreed to end the unlimited charitable deductions that allow some extremely wealthy people to escape payment of all or nearly all federal income taxes.

The man he defeated in the closely watched by-election was none other than former Pre mier...

The beach houses stand wall to wall on the sand, weather-beaten dwellings right next to opulent villas. The cliff on the other side is raw, crumbling dirt, and it periodically dumps its houses right down on the road. I get the feeling that the whole state may subside into the ocean some...
