A a want the fact opinion truth write Walter Scott Box 5001, grand Central station new York . 10163-5001. Allty Parade in h i i  it i i your hidden Side of persian Gulf War As seen of to last year the persian Gulf War was an awesome display of High tech precision. According to confidential Pentagon sources however there was another Side to the War. The military s High tech intelligence system collapsed under fire these source told Jack Anderson parades Washington Bureau chief. Transmission equipment broke Down and most reconnaissance photos had to be delivered to the front by couriers a Seldom reaching fighting units in time. Even the photos that reached the front were of Little use our sources said. They came from orbiting satellites code named a a Keyhole and provided such a close up View that commanders could read the License plates m the photos. But they needed a Broad View of the Battlefield a not shots of License plates. As a result of this breakdown some targets were repeatedly bombed after they already had been destroyed. Other planes could t find their targets and returned with full bomb loads. This despite the fact the Best intelligence went to the air Force which was dazzling the world with its video views of a smart bombs Quot streaking Down chimneys and through windows. Our marines and other ground troops had to wait in Hoe behind the air Force for intelligence. This was a major reason Why our special operations units rescued Only nine of the 67 pilots shot Down in the War. According to the .

Today Barcelona is a bilingual City with school classes newspapers and to offered in Spanish and catalan. Most Street signs and menus Are in catalan a which will make life interesting for visitors this summer who expect Spanish. Another Trade imbalance in Japan where the Pill is banned for birth control More than 80 percent of married couples use condoms. So the japanese who buy 500 million a year in contrast to 420 million in the United states Are the worlds largest condom Market. Between january and july of last year however Japan imported Only 52,190 Worth of condoms according to the Japan times. Why so few a we Don t sell our condoms in Japan Quot Parade was told by Carter Warace americans largest manufacturer. The company wont say Why but reportedly its Tough to meet japanese standards which includes a a pinhole test Quot in which electronic current is passed through the condom. Then there a the distribution sold door to door by a condom ladies a who often intimidated new brides into buying a years Supply at a time says Wendy Dodek of Kochevar research associates in Boston. These Days she adds More Are being sold in stores and vending machines a but still with female clients in mind so packaging tends to be cute. Finally there a the matter of fit. American made condoms average 8 inches in length while japanese models Are just Over 7 inches. Japanese condoms Are also thinner. But done to be surprised if Carter Wallace and others decide to try for a piece of the growing japanese condom Market. Last month the ban on birth control pills was reinforced and the fear of aids is spreading in Japan.
