...Agency and secret private contractors are doing exactly the same thing. Both Soviet and American technicians use advanced computers programmed to react to trigger words; a Soviet analyst, for instance, might sit up straight on coming upon words like Cobra Dane, a new radar installation in the Aleutians, or Trident, the giant U.S. submarine now under construction...

Starting far back, she bustled around the state in a Volvo station wagon, stressing the need for economic development and nuclear power, and backing the construction of a Trident submarine base?opposed by the environmentalists?on Puget Sound.

Carter, who is now one of the top recording bassists, also plays on Tyner's "Fly With The Wind" and "Supertrios...
