...given everyone the jitters is a colorless, almost odorless nerve gas coded GB, able to kill or incapacitate human beings within seconds. It blocks the enzyme the body uses to destroy one of its own chemical nerve-signal transmitters that becomes poisonous after serving its function. This affects control of the nervous system and ultimately causes the body to poison itself. This week, if all goes according to plan, the Army will begin shipping 12,540 rockets armed with GB from depots in Anniston, Ala., and Blue Grass, Ky., to Sunny Point arsenal in North Carolina. There the rockets, crated...
...current Congress, there are only eleven female members, as opposed to 19 nearly a decade ago. The problem, of course, was and is discrimination. All too often, the electorate still view women politicians as sideshow curiosities. The political doyens of both parties, who control campaign funds, have a disturbing tendency to disappear when a woman manages to capture a party nomination...

BUILDING NEW SANCTUARIES. To replace their lost rest-and-resupply havens along the South Vietnamese border, the Communists have been carving a huge new sanctuary area out of the midsection of Indochina. They have taken control of Cambodia's four northeastern provinces and the Bolovens Plateau in the southern Laotian panhandle. In the process, the Communists have gained access to large supplies of rice, fish and cattle, and last week's attacks on Kompong Thom and Skoun, two strategic cities north of Phnom-Penh, showed that they are intent on securing continued control of these new havens. They...
