...phony charges are up, what would account for the rise? Douglas Besharov, a child-welfare expert at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, concludes that three-fourths of false accusations come from adults, not children. Laws in every state require teachers, nurses and other professionals to report any suspicion of sexual abuse, with penalties for failing to do so. Also judges are increasingly less willing to assign children automatically to mothers. The result: some wives use false accusations as a weapon of last resort...
...state-of-the-art spying techniques work is the province of only a few people in the innermost recesses of the KGB and the CIA. Moreover, U.S. counterintelligence experts have an uneasy suspicion that the Kremlin may have come up with devices that they are not yet aware of. Executives in private companies that produce snooping equipment for the U.S. Government are under strict orders to keep their mouths shut, but they do provide some insight into the weird world of electronic espionage and its impressive technology...

...expressed with a complete absence of the fiery anti-Japanese rhetoric so currently fashionable in Washington. The public is worried about Japanese competition, disposed to believe that much of that competition is unfair, and willing to consider some limited retaliation. But it has considerably more than a sneaking suspicion that much of the blame for the American trade deficit can be placed right within the borders of the U.S., and it is in no mood to give up its Sonys, Toyotas or Minoltas. Congress and the Administration are impressed by the cries of protectionist lobbyists and justifiably annoyed...
