...good effect that the allies have spent $107 billion of their own on the common defense. (In 1950 U.S. allies had 500 jet aircraft; now they have 13,000.) The military program provides not only for direct purchases of military hardware but for aid to create a sound logistic base (e.g., supply lines) and to enable allies to maintain forces they could not otherwise afford. In South Korea, for example, the U.S. now contributes $600 a year to help maintain a South Korean soldier on the 38th parallel in the common interest; to support an American soldier there would cost...
...only isolated satellite. Its 1,250,000 people, largely dirt poor and illiterate, are ruled by 48,000 Communists, who in turn owe allegiance to the handsome and savagely cruel Communist dictator, Enver Hoxha.

It has almost none with...

...engines North American must have pumps capable of 8,000 gal. per minute (enough to empty a 20 ft. by 40 ft. swimming pool in less than five minutes), gas generators which have the power of a nine-ton diesel locomotive. Solid propellants such as Thiokol's rubber-base fuels are far simpler and safer to handle. Yet the trouble with solid fuels is that they do not have the power of liquid fuels, cannot be relied upon to burn at a constant rate...
