...biggest problem faced by Belarus dealers is the Soviet Union's deservedly dismal reputation for never having enough spare parts of anything on hand. Belarus has stockpiled a $5 million inventory of spares in its Milwaukee plant, where a team of Soviet mechanics works, and in its Toronto facility. Says Chambers flatly: "We are competitive in spare-parts service with any American company." Another help: Soviet farmers are often far from the nearest tractor dealer, so the tractors have been designed for quick and simple on-the-spot servicing...
...million are believed to moonlight regularly at unreported second and even third jobs. Entire families work at home assembling ball-point pens, making shoes, stamping out auto parts or upholstering furniture. Hospital nurses work after hours in clinics; cops and firemen do lucrative plumbing or electrical work in their spare time. Many wages are substandard: as low as $60 a month. But there are no tax or social security deductions. Workers find the jobs rewarding. With everyone pitching in, family income can be substantial...
...think they have a right to their own national treasures. Deneuve is attracted to a roguish cat burglar (Terence Hill), who is seeking refuge in the Legion from the cops.

Asked to recall his "best memories," he mentions eating breakfast in the school dining room, reading and talking with students as they drifted in. "Or I'd be in my office late at night working and people...
...within only a 140-yd. radius. It would instantly kill anyone within a half-mile radius, and for people within a one-mile range would cause delayed deaths up to a month after the blast (see chart). But because of its low-yield blast and heat effect, it would spare all buildings beyond a 140-yd. radius of ground zero. Moreover, the radiation dissipates quickly, and would not affect an area beyond a radius of 1% miles. More than other nukes, the bomb is thus very much a precision weapon, designed for battlefields of limited size...
