This evokes memories for me. In '77 I was taking a course on nuclear arms policy at Harvard, and ran across this thing in the school library. I'll always remember a two-page ad: It was a painting, showing an arab-looking gent in a military uniform with a giant grin on his face. He was holding a hand-held air-to-ground missle launcher, and there was a smoke trail going from the top of the launcher to a fireball in mid-air with just the tail of an airplane visible from it. You don't see ads like that in Aviation Week And Space Technology! That same issue had a product review for Italian-made floating mines for harbor blockades. Interesting magazine. --- David Phillip Oster --A Sun 3/60 makes a poor Macintosh II. Arpa: oster@dewey.soe.berkeley.edu --A Macintosh II makes a poor Sun 3/60.
