...real missile. This would prevent Soviet sensors from discerning the change in the TEL's rumble that would be caused if it no longer carried a load. If the TEL suddenly seemed lighter, for instance, Moscow could conclude that it had deposited an MX at its last stop. The TEL would also carry equipment constantly emitting the same amount of gamma rays and heat as would be given...
While N.C.P.A.C. wages war with words, others affiliated with the New Right are attempting to organize single-interest groups against Church. A new antiabortion group called Stop the Baby Killers, with Idaho Congressman George Hansen as honorary chairman, describes Church, Culver and Bayh as "men who apparently think it's perfectly okay to slaughter unborn infants."

They were crammed into gas chambers so tightly that babies were often thrust in over the heads of adults. The doors were then closed and the gas jets turned on. There were...
...those in The Bronx, but dispose of cases five times as fast. Why the difference? Because some judges take an active role in pushing a case along from the moment it is filed. They enforce strict deadlines on filing motions and papers and limit pretrial discovery; in short they stop lawyers from delaying. In other courts, judges sit back and let lawyers set the pace by handing out postponements freely...
