it means to trust someone or something with all your heart, like
I have faith in God Almighty and His Son, Jesus. What I am trying
to say is thank you very much for helping me open my heart to
Jesus. I am hoping to continue to receive your books and maga
zines and hope to encourage my children and their children to get
the same information. Thank you for helping me realize the true
values of my life.
L.C.--Age 13 (East Orange, NJ)
I usually don't watch church shows. I go to church every Sunday.
But this morning when I started to watch your show, it got me
interested.
I'm 14 years old. I don't drink, take drugs, smoke,
or anything like that--but I feel I'm not righteous enough. I
don't know what to do.
I'm writing to request your two books, THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT
EASTER and THE RESURRRECTION WAS NOT ON SUNDAY. With the books,
could you please send a note telling me what I should do?
ON THE WORLD SCENE

THE FALKLANDS WAR--PROVING GROUND FOR WORLD WAR III? TIME magazine, in its
May 17, 1982 issue, draws a portentous parallel between this budding war in
the South Atlantic and a previous one. The Battle of the Falklands, reports
TIME, has
become a 20th century battle of microchios and computers, of
decisions and reactions far too fast for the human brain to make.
Says a weapons expert for JANE'S YEARBOOKS, the authoritative
military reference volumes: "Today's wars are a battle of com
puter�- computer."
Just as the Spanish civil� in the 1930s proved to be� testing
ground for � and strategies later used in World War
!l,
military planners around the world are viewing the battle of the
South Atlantic as a trial of high-technology weapons, ships and
aircraft never before used in combat. Britain's Sea Harrier, a
vertical/short-takeoff and -=--1anding (V/STOL) attack plane, is
winning high praise for its maneuverability. The plane can�
dead in mid-air, turn�� dime and leap straight upward to dodge
� oncoming enemy missile••••
Perhaps greater attention is being given to a new generation of
missiles and bombs••.•The Tigerfish MK

torpedo used by the
British•••speeds toward its target at about 58 m.p.h., playing
out [ two] thin wires attached to the submarine's computer [ from
twin spindles in its tail] and changing direction as the computer
dictates. In the final stages of the attack, when the submarine
has determined that the torpedo is heading in the right direc
tion, an automatic homing -system takes over and guides the
torpedo to its target. The superquiet Tigerfish is "one of the
most deadly underwater weapons yet produced," says the JANE'S
expert. "It is virtually impossible for the target to know that
the torpedo is approaching."
