Pollock, 60, commanding the FMF in the Atlantic, and Merrill B. Twining, 56, commandant of the Marine Corps School at Quantico (and younger brother of Air Force General Nathan Twining, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff). Upon retirement under the Tombstone Law, all three will achieve four-star rank (but not necessarily an increase in retirement...

More than once, Dominguin has gone to his knees and performed his showstopper, el teléfono: leaning casually on the bull's head...
...permitted on the same channels that pledge the 'workers' society' to a world free from private enterprise." The contradictions stem from the fact that the 1956 revolution had to be halted halfway, frozen in mid-blow; Poland's economy is lethargic and disorderly, its younger generation is embittered after seeing its 1956 hopes for liberty diluted in daily compromise with Moscow...
