...efficiency of the Minuteman's warhead, for example, were to be doubled, the missile could be rigged to deliver a bigger bang; a decrease in weight of the current-strength warhead would allow an increase in the missile's range. The same effect would show up all along the line; a B-52 could carry twice as many improved 20-megaton bombs. The U.S. has many new weapons systems with nuclear warheads that have yet to be explosively tested. No ICBM, for instance, has carried a nuclear warhead out of the atmosphere and back again and demonstrated that...

In addition, virtually every make will have a "pizazz" model (TIME, July 21) to satisfy the public's craving for bucket seats and floor-mounted manual gearshifts. All this diversity worries the automakers because it shaves their profits with higher manufacturing costs. Yet they are racing headlong into it in the hope that with a year of frank experimentation they can find...
