...never know how you will react to a scream until you hear one. I can tell you how you will react at first. You will freeze.

Japan is debating whether to spend up to $10 billion on its proposed FSX fighter or buy comparable U.S. versions for as little as half the price. France continues to push ahead with its $5.8 billion Rafale fighter even though German, British...
