...equipment might well have seen action in the Korean War, and many of its troops are semiliterate. The country's strategic nuclear arsenal is 300 times as small as that of the U.S. The entire arsenal packs about as much explosive power as what the U.S. stuffs into one Trident submarine. China's ballistic-missile sub (singular, not plural) hasn't been to sea for a year and would be sunk in minutes in a battle with a U.S. attack sub.

Chinese agents have even gone to U.S. military-surplus sales to buy scrapped aviation hardware...
...this. Eating sweets may ward off ear infections--if the sweet contains a sugar substitute called xylitol. In a Finnish study, children given chewing gum with xylitol had 40% fewer ear infections. Xylitol, it turns out, is a powerful antimicrobial. It is used in small quantities to help sweeten Trident Advantage, Breath Assure and other sugarless gums...
