...sales of $1,156,000,000 amounted to the operating costs of the Defense Department for ten days. Its $67 million net earnings would buy little more than a fully equipped nuclear submarine. Moreover, the rush of military technology had made the job of Defense Secretary bigger and tougher than ever before. The Soviet satellite revised all military parameters, and it was up to Neil McElroy to track the course...
...husband has a nasty disposition and a tendency to attack any man who admires his wife.

Rich and, until recently, gunrunning, slave-trafficking nomads who hold a virtual monopoly on camel raising in the western Sahara, they hold colonial...

However, the schedule is somewhat tougher this year: Clarkson, St. Lawrence, Michigan and Minnesota are next on the list.
