The bombs in Spain go off mainly on the train by Denyav
How luckily for Bush and Asnar that this newest atrocity will, almost certainly, propel the Spaniards to close the ranks around the government. The timing is especially apt; a week more for voters to think over the news, and they might get the idea that Asnar pins the bomings on ETA...

Looking at pictures of the B-17F Memphis Belle I see four guns, each in a separate loophole in the nose of the plane. Looking...

High-altitude autorotations? by Bill McClain
