...media can also report whatever is said on the record in the Australian proceedings. To head off extensive disclosure, the British government earlier this month asked the court to "treat the allegations made in the book as being true." But the government stressed that "except for the limited procedural purposes of this action," it was not conceding the truth of the charges. Still, the Guardian crowed, BRITAIN ADMITS MI5 ALLEGATIONS. Such headlines dismayed some intelligence agents. Said one operative: "They may end up making Wright's book a best seller...
Given such problems, some physicians in India and Africa believe resources devoted to fighting AIDS should be used instead to treat curable diseases. That view was recently echoed in the Deccan Herald, the leading daily in the state of Karnataka, which declared, "The question must be asked whether so much publicity, time, money and attention must be thrown behind a disease that is barely known to exist in India." Sadly, if the resources are not committed, AIDS may soon become an all-too-familiar household word on the subcontinent...
Though the Sears and California cases are obviously very different, both turn on the same question: Should feminists admit significant differences between the sexes?

The reason: he might bring millions of new voters flocking to the party banner, but he might also cause them to rebel and in frustration shun the party...
...movie doesn't seem to know how to treat what one expects to be its central focus--the nuclear testing that its created as backdrop. Vague references are made to it throughout the movie, and the movie's climax is a huge explosion. One wishes, like Rose's step-father, that one could see more of the glamorized military intelligentsia. This is probably the same desire that many Las Vegans had in the 1950s. However, they had to live their lives, as boring as they might have been. You don't have to see this movie...
