...jungle boots. However, a sizable sum ($38.4 billion) represents huge property holdings at home and abroad. Including everything from local reserve-unit armories to missile-testing grounds, Defense controls 27,606,219 acres in the United States. It has its biggest holdings in California (4,335,068 acres), its smallest in the District of Columbia (1,672). Its worldwide holdings cover more than the combined areas of Rhode Island, Delaware, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maryland...
Buckley, and conservatives of the Buckley stripe, argue that all public functions must be reduced to their smallest common denominator; that the sprawling government bureaucracy must abdicate all but a few essential responsibilities to private individuals and businesses.

Astronomers estimate that the new moon orbits Saturn once every 18 hours and is between 100 and 200 miles in diameter. It is thus slightly larger than Saturn's smallest moon (Phoebe) but dwarfed by the largest (Titan), which is 2,900 miles in diameter-nearly as large as the planet Mercury. Despite the diminutive size of the new satellite, its gravity is probably strong enough to cause significant perturbations in the orbits of the countless tiny particles that constitute the nearby Saturnian rings. Thus, in conjunction with the gravitational pull of some of the other inner Saturnian moons...
Canada's target is the Mercantile Bank of Canada (assets: $225 million), which, as smallest by far of the country's eight nationally chartered banks, would hardly be noticed were it not wholly owned by New York's First Na tional City Bank. In Ottawa last week, parliamentary hearings began on a bill designed to limit the size of banks in which non-Canadians have more than a 25% interest. Mercantile, as it happens, would be the only one affected; under the new rules, it would be forced to pare its assets to $200 million or find...
