Wiencek further argues that the trial court erred by considering “parol evidence to vary the effective date of the [B108 agreement] and to controvert the integration clause.” CHH, for its part, avers that the admission of parol evidence was proper because it was offered to determine whether the contract was effective.

Russia, the old cold war dynamics of mistrust and paranoia have come to the fore again. The Cuban missile crisis of 1962 underscored the need for responsible nuclear leadership and was a precursor to the détente.

the statute of limitations expires, then probable cause no longer exists; therefore, the individual cannot be arrested. The statute of limitations limits the amount of time that a prosecutor can have before they begin criminal proceedings (Hayes, n.d.).
