- <p> Delivery people at various Domino's pizza outlets in and
- around Washington claim that they have learned to anticipate
- big news baking at the White House or the Pentagon by the
- upsurge in takeout orders. Phones usually start ringing some
- 72 hours before an official announcement. "We know," says one
- pizza runner. "Absolutely. Pentagon orders doubled up the night
- before the Panama attack; same thing happened before the
- Grenada invasion." Last Wednesday, he adds, "we got a lot of
- orders, starting around midnight. We figured something was up."
- This time the big news arrived quickly: Iraq's surprise
- invasion of Kuwait.
