He started telling me in this hasal tone about Joyce as if he were some expert, so I told him either to pay the money or leave. He paid...
...opposing armies, in the course of 20 days, will pull back to carefully defined and separated positions. Each side's forces will be strung out in three zones whose dimensions were not spelled out in the published agreement but were quickly leaked. The first, 6.3 miles deep, may contain no more than 6,000 troops, 75 tanks and 36 "defensive" artillery pieces; the second, also 6.3 miles deep, may contain 450 tanks and unlimited defensive artillery; the third zone, 3.1 miles deep, carries no limit on forces and equipment, with the exception of missiles...
