...ECOMOG withdrew recently, complaining that the mission was too costly, the RUF became emboldened. The peace deal was supposed to mean giving up their control over the diamond fields, but that wasn't something an exceedingly brutal army - which had adopted systematic dismembering of the civilian population as a tactic of war - was willing...
Since direct challenges to Roe v. Wade have repeatedly been struck down by the Supreme Court, anti-abortionists have adopted the tactic of attacking procedures one-by-one. The D&X procedure is an easy target. It is infrequently used and lends itself to graphic depictions by anti-abortionists in now-famous cartoon drawings of the procedure sent to members of Congress.

A key Microsoft tactic: adding features to Windows. Microsoft originally developed its Explorer Web browser as a separate consumer item, but then it decided to include--or bundle--the browser in Windows in 1995. The upshot was that Windows users got a free browser when they bought their PC's--making it awfully hard for Netscape to persuade them to buy its competing program...
