From: drn@pinet.aip.org (donald_newcomb) Know why the allied tanks did so well? Possibly because every tank manufacturer in the free world was doing everything possible to have his model look good. As U.K. Minister of Defense Procurement, Alan Clark said, "I thought it was crazy to go ahead and order a new tank in advance of what may in effect be a full-scale field trial." Isn't competition wonderful? Reference: _Defense News_, 25 Feb '91, p7. Donald Newcomb | Shooting at a fixed target is only a step drn@pinet.aip.org | towards shooting at a moving one, like a man.
