...Clark, who entered the race a mere nine days ago, the debate marked one of his first opportunities to stake out stances on the issues. And the former NATO commander—a registered Republican until recently who voted for Nixon and Reagan—was immediately pressed to defend his Democratic credentials...
...security risk. Teller was considered the model for Dr. Strangelove, the bomb-loving scientist in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 movie. In the 1980s, Teller backed Ronald Reagan's nukes-based Star Wars program--a technology so complex that many scientists thought it impossible to build.

The CPT's findings on Irish prisons are just as grim as those on the police. The delegation heard many complaints...
...convict. Years later he returns to London and organizes a group of street urchins into a petty crime gang which Oliver joins. By the end, after Fagin is sent to the gallows, the reader becomes aware of a connection between him and Oliver Twist that goes further than mere association. The spry, talkative Will Eisner spoke with TIME.comix by phone from his office in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida...
