...favors a massive missile shield that protects the U.S. and its allies from all missile threats. This despite the fact that skeptics have questioned everything from the system's cost and viability to its potential to destabilize the existing arms control regime. Some of Washington's key European allies used President Clinton's valedictory tour this week to echo Russia's warning that building a missile-defense system without Moscow's consent may compel Moscow and possibly Beijing, too, to deploy more missiles in order to achieve the capacity to overwhelm a U.S. interceptor system, therefore maintaining the deterrent value...
...trouble with capital punishment is that as a rule, we can only use one or two of these techniques on any given killer. I suppose that if we were feeling especially indignant, we might start by stoning a guy, then lop off his limbs, impale him, and finally (quick, before he bleeds to death) put him in the leaky canoe and push him out among the crocodiles. He'd get the point...
...while they're given reason to hope. The latest source of optimism is a study published in Friday's issue of Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association, which shows for the first time that a new type of rehabilitation may help stroke victims regain nearly full use of their paralyzed limbs. The experimental therapy, employed by researchers at the University of Alabama and the Friedrich Schiller University in Germany, involves immobilizing the good arm of a stroke victim and forcing the patient to use their "bad" arm to perform daily tasks. Patients performed the exercises six hours...
...Barak: Maybe he will, but even if he will, we are in a better situation than before. I reduced significantly the legitimacy to shoot [at us] once we are within the borders of Israel. And I heightened a lot the freedom of maneuver for Israel to use the right of self-defense if someone dares to do it. Once we are within Israel, defending ourselves from within our borders, the Lebanese government and the Syrian government are responsible to make sure that no one will dare hit Israeli civilians or armed forces within Israel. Any violation of this might become...
...began, we defended our cars against mines. A mine is maybe 10 pounds of explosives. So they put two mines together. So you make the cars heavier. So they go into highly sophisticated digital processors for the coding. So we came into encoding and EW. Then they began to use anti-tank Tow missiles, very accurate. You find yourself in a quiet, sophisticated, resource-demanding kind of fighting. So basically it became clear that in spite of the fact that our hand is the upper one most of the time, somehow it's a spiraling situation of being dragged deeper...
