...will. If their argument is that America should not force its beliefs on other peoples, ask them why they'd allow corporations to form their own armies (Clark promised they would have that privilege). And if they defend--as in most cases they will--the rights of companies to sell their products without control or review, ask them about the sale of nuclear weapons to foreign lands. "I guess I'd allow them; libertarianism is so good, it has to have a few flaws," Clark said in a recent interview. Point out that it is only a few flaws...
...foreign policy, Carter missed his chance to get a SALT II treaty-essentially completed under President Ford -early in his Administration. By trying to sell far bigger cuts in nuclear arms to the Soviets, Carter almost derailed the whole SALT process and had vast difficulties finally negotiating the treaty, which is still unratified by Congress.

Owners can complete the rooms later, when they have the money. Bathroom and kitchen floors are covered with vinyl instead of tile, and closets have sliding doors made out of a light plastic material rather than wood. Boston Builder Anthony Lapuma has turned out the first half dozen...
Owner Financing. Thousands of frustrated home buyers are now bypassing the bank and borrowing money directly from the person selling the house. Owners often find that this type of financing is the only way they can sell their houses because so many potential buyers cannot qualify for bank loans. The buyer, for example, might borrow half the needed money from the owner at 8% interest and the rest from a bank...
