...Cardinal of the Kremlin, the new Jack Ryan airing, deals admiringly with Star Wars technology and thus (SDI cynics might object) is precisely as silly as real life. Never mind; Clancy is back on track. The reader is shown, in quick, effective takes of a few pages each, a giant Soviet military laser weapon under construction in the mountains of central Asia, the operation of an elaborate chain of U.S. spy drops and cutouts in Moscow, an Afghan guerrilla team shooting down Soviet helicopters with Stinger missiles, tense cookie pushing at a disarmament negotiation, and two separate KGB interrogations, including...

Phased-array radars constantly sweep the skies over a vast swatch of ocean. They can track more than 100 aircraft, surface ships, submarines, missiles and torpedoes simultaneously. All show up as white symbols on one of four blue screens; each symbol is in a particular shape, identifying the object as airplane, missile or whatever. Computers can direct the simultaneous firing of missiles and other weapons over enormous...
That was only one of many Lipsig victories to result in new legal responsibilities for institutions, employers, manufacturers and municipalities. In a 1958 case involving Arnold Schuster, who was murdered after he had helped track down the celebrated bank robber Willie Sutton, Lipsig won a landmark ruling from the New York State Court of Appeals, the state's highest court. It opened up police to liability if they fail to provide reasonable protection for a person who assists a criminal apprehension or prosecution. Schuster's police protection had been withdrawn despite his pleas to have it continued...
