hard as it might seem at first. He
needs to know your feelings - and
you need to know his. Then together
ask God to help you become more
sensitive to each other, and to take
some specific steps to do things
together and get out of your rut. A
surprise date, a specially-prepared
favorite dinner, an unexpected little
gift - in many ways you can begin to
rebuild your relationship.
Above all, rebuild your marriage

Later called themselves the El
Rukns ...
Are now the biggest gang in the ci-
ty and maybe the biggest in the na-
tion. feeding mostly on narcotics.
But not just narcotics.
One of the gang’s leaders, Jeff
Fort, reportedly tried to make a deal
with Libya’s misleader. Kadafi - to
perform terrorist acts in the United
States - for $2.5 million.
Terrorism in the United States is
on the increase again.
There were 51 incidents in 1982. 13

“Since the treaty will not be rati-
fied by your Senate for some time.”
the spokesman said, “there is time to
make these decisions ”
Sen Jake Garn, R-Utah. says he
will not give his approval to the treaty
until he is sure that Americans going
to Votkinsk will have the same access
and freedom as Soviets coming to
Magna
• The Russians are also coming to
Middle River, Md
Under the INF treaty, the Martin
Marietta plant at Middle River, 12
miles east of Baltimore, will be open
to Soviet inspection.
That’s fine with the folks at Martin
Marietta and the town fathers of Mid-
dle River Only nobody understands
why the Russians are coming
Martin Marietta does make Per-
shing II missiles - but not at Middle
River They make them at a plant in
Orlando, Fla The Middle River plant
makes tail sections for aircraft and
thrust reversers for aircraft engines
A State Department spokesman
says that several “language” prob-
lems in the final INF treaty must still
be worked out. He would not say
whether Middle River is one of those
problems
Dear Dr. Graham: I’m bored with
our marriage. The kids have all left
home and it seems like we never do
anything exciting. Things are im-
possible, and I d like to make a new
life for myself and get out of this rut.
Would it be a sin for me to divorce
my husband? — Mrs. T.J.
Dear Mrs. T.J.: God does not want
you to bail out of your marriage, and
it would be wrong to think you’ll find
true happiness and security in that
way. When you and your husband
were married you took a vow before
God and committed yourselves to
each other. "Therefore what God has
joined together, let man not
separate” (Matthew 19:6).
Does that mean God simply wants
you to be miserable all your life? No,
not at all. Instead, God wants to help
you renew the spark of love in your
relationship - and he will help you,
if you will let him. What can you do?
First of all, make a firm recommit-
ment in your mind and heart to your
marriage — to do whatever you can
to rekindle it Then you and your hus-
band need to face your problem
together. Perhaps you have drifted
apart or have come to take each
other for granted as the years have
passed, but you need to itart com-
municating with each other again
Internationally, the kidnapping of
Americans has virtually ceased
since the United States established a
position of “never negotiating with
terrorists.”
The taking and holding of
American hostages for political gain
has failed. All this means, however,
is that terrorist tactics will be
altered. One of the strongest tools in
the international fight against ter-
rorism is this new “shotgun wed-
ding” among law enforcement agen-
cies this new sharing of informa-
tion.
on the foundation of Christ and his
will. God loves you, and Christ wants
to help you. Open your heart to him
and put him first in your lives. God
is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine”
(Ephesians 3:20).

and Kadafi.
And it has now been established
that the El Rukns have “branch of-
fices” now in New York City,
Phoenix, Houston and Philadelphia.
They play rough.
Our FBI, solely responsible for our
nation’s internal security, seeks to
downplay the terrorist threat, noting
that there has not been a terrorist act
committed by an international ter-
rorist group since 1983.
Nonetheless, the FBI Law En-
forcement Bulletin, the in-house
publication for updating FBI agents,
gave its entire October issue to one
subject: “terrorism.”
Further, the FBI is seeking a fur-
ther sharing of information with the
State Department, with Interpol,
with the Department of Defense, the
Department of Energy and the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The latter relating to the ever-
present threat of theft and sabotage
in the nuclear industry.
The bureau also works more close-
