...former Chancellor Willy Brandt, chairman of the Social Democrats. Brandt told the cheering mass of his countrymen: "In Germany and in Europe, we need not more medium rockets but fewer ones. So we say no to more nuclear missiles." Certain powerful people, he continued, "have got it into their thick heads that deployment of Pershing Us is more important than reducing...
Items such a frappes are more expensive here-$1.75 compared to $1.25 at Quincy-but such exotic flavors as M&M and mocha chip make them thick and well worth the price. Other specialties include the Dolly Dog-a bacon and cheese hot dog named for the House superintendent, and Elsie's M&M cookies.

...gathered in a single primordial landmass called Pangaea. Initially, the dinosaurs were relatively small and vulnerable, about the size of ponies. Many of them undoubtedly fell victim to voracious, crocodile-like reptiles called phytosaurs. But by using almost every evolutionary stratagem, they proliferated in number and diversity. Some developed thick protective plating, comparable to that of modern-day armadillos. Ankylosaurus had armor on its skull, knobby stubs over its back and legs, and possessed a tail that ended in a huge bony club. Perhaps to shed excess body heat, Stegosaurus sprouted triangular-shaped fins on its back. Thanks to such...
...spite of their comparatively small brains, dinosaurs were not dumb, floundering brutes. Deinonychus, for instance, was a fleet, two-footed creature with scimitar-like claws on its hind legs, grasping hands and dagger-sharp teeth. It apparently hunted in packs, in the manner of wolves. Stegoceras perhaps employed the thick dome on its skull in sexual combat, as an elk uses its horns. Dinosaurs may even have had nurturing, maternal instincts. The recent discovery in Montana of the fossilized remains of tiny baby dinosaurs only twelve inches long, near an adult of the same species, suggests that females hovered protectively...
