Meanwhile, houses on Florida's eastern coast are beset by another insect immigrant. The Formosan termite, thought to have arrived there aboard a seagoing yacht, forms colonies underground. Its subterranean paths sometimes extend as far as 300 ft. Says Entomologist Nan-Yao Su of the University of Florida's Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center: "In one instance, in Hallandale, Fla., a single colony had driven foraging tunnels underneath four large condominium buildings and infested each one." The insects chew up virtually anything in their path. Last year downtown Honolulu lost power for half a day after Formosan termites severed...
...they fled their mudbrick huts. Some desperately stripped off their dresses and shirts to escape the burning caused by the gas. Later they were found only yards from their crumpled clothes, overcome by asphyxiation. "I saw people dying, people dead all around," recalled Ephrem Ngong Kum, 24, of Su-Bum, a village some 200 miles northwest of Yaounde, Cameroon's capital.

No such attacks occurred, but the scare contributed to Reagan's revulsion toward the Libyan dictator, which has been fueled since...
...illustrated 156-page SMP, first brought out in 1981, offers a few scoops: blurred but unique photographs of the Soviet SS-20 intermediate-range missile that threatens Western Europe, Japan and China; and photos of one of the three new Delta IV-class nuclear-powered submarines and of the Su-27 Flanker, an air-defense fighter deployed only this year. But overall, reviews of the book were lukewarm. While many U.S. military experts outside the Pentagon think SMP has improved in accuracy and candor with each new edition, they still regard it as less than totally objective...
