The Dutch Ministry of Defence confirmed that Washington withdrew from the AWACS replacement effort in July, prompting the Netherlands and several European partners to abandon the joint plan.

Drunk Driving Laws. National Speed Limit. Seatbelts fitted to all new cars. All were prescient. All 1966-1967. Road deaths peaked at 8,000 in 1966. By 1980 they were down to 6,000, and 5,000 by 1990.… (View Post)3
