...ammunition. "Let's try an experiment," Loper suggests. "Lie flat on your back on a bench or table. Have a friend--or enemy--take a baseball bat and slam it into your gut with all the force he can. Your skin remains unbroken and there is no wound. Yet you are rolling on the floor, puking, due to energy transmitted via hydrostasis and body reaction. A good hollowpoint does the same thing. IT drills a hole in the body, then gives it s good kick...
...lobby quickly filled with reporters, politicians, black leaders and pajama-clad patients, several of them in wheelchairs. Jesse Jackson suggested, despite a total lack of evidence, that Jordan might have been the first on an assassin's "hit list" of black leaders. Jackson maintained that Jordan's wound was "seemingly well placed by a professional, which is a political statement." He called on the nation's blacks to stay calm.

Many of the twists and turns indicated that the voters were not greatly enamored of any of the choices placed before them.

But the state has maintained its 20% share of all defense contracts. Aerospace firms have such a choking backlog of orders that even an immediate decision to speed up defense spending would not result in any surge...
...life to totalitarian noncoms is not exactly a month in the country. Lincoln's conscription in the Civil War caused homicidal riots all over the Union. But the American historical memory is not that long. The main reason for the aversion now is the wound of Viet Nam. Especially in an election year, politicians get sweating palms when they think of reawakening all the vivid and articulate rages that Viet Nam called forth, all the dissent that finally calmed in 1973 after the children of the middle class were no longer in danger of flying home in body bags...
