...radar-dodging F-19 Stealth fighter plane, a supersecret Air Force project, has long been the subject of gossip. Tom Clancy features it in his new best seller, Red Storm Rising, and one toymaker has gone so far as to produce a 12- in. model. Though the Air Force will not comment on reports that the plastic toy is 80% accurate, as its makers claim, sales have been high among the Lockheed workers in Southern California who have had a part in the project. Last week the status of the F-19 became a bit less murky. The Washington Post...
...Force probably had good reason for reticence. Military observers suspect that the plane was an F-19 Stealth fighter, a supersecret aircraft whose shape, materials and electronic gadgetry make it less visible than normal planes to enemy radar. The Stealth- fighter program is so secret that the Air Force does not even confirm its existence. Few civilians have ever seen the Lockheed-built plane, which is tested only under cover of night...
...Smith risks breaking his illusion of authenticity by neglecting key figures. He is far more effective with Pena, racked between his heritage and his ambitions. The sergeant is a winning creation, even though he stretches belief by conducting a lot of personal business as a noncom assigned to a supersecret project: trysting with Fraulein Weiss, trying to buy a nightclub, getting into shape for a high-stakes boxing match, taking care of Indian affairs and sidetracking Captain Augustino's plot to make Oppenheimer look like a Soviet...
...nations such as Libya, Iran and Syria. There are approximately 3,200 Libyans in the U.S. who have been granted temporary visas, including an estimated 1,200 students. The Government also maintains huge computer databases with information on individuals suspected of having radical, anti-U.S. associations. Meanwhile, the supersecret National Security Agency uses the world's most technologically advanced surveillance techniques to eavesdrop on questionable telephone calls and radio communications abroad and intercept and decode suspicious telex messages. To conform to U.S. privacy laws, the intercepts take place outside U.S. borders. But as the rest of the world painfully...
...study of the hypersensitive command, control and communications system that would be involved in a nuclear war was a success. Too much of a success. As soon as Pentagon officials read the report, which had been commissioned by Congress's Office of Technology Assessment, they upgraded it to a supersecret clearance level known as siop-esi (Single Integrated Operation Plan--Extremely Sensitive Information). Only the President and a few top Defense officials are now permitted to see the paper. The classification is so restricted that even Author Blair, who is cleared for top-secret material, is not permitted to read...
