...World War II bomber pilot. Ryan flew 58 combat missions in Europe, on the final one lost his left index finger to flak; in SAC circles he is fondly, but not to his face, known as "Three-Finger Jack." In 1946 he helped plan U.S. atomic tests at Bikini atoll, then joined SAC, which was just being formed. With the exception of a year's tour as Air Force inspector general, he has been a SAC man ever since, most recently serving as Power's deputy commander. He knows all the tools of his trade, is an expert...

Magnolia & Morning-Glory. Wading ashore on Namu in the Bikini atoll, an island so hard hit by atomic fireballs that its entire top was blown off, the scientists found it covered with sedge, beach magnolia, and the small white-flowered tree messerschmidia, which was named for the 18th century German botanist, Daniel Messerschmid. So thick were the morning-glory vines on some of the islets that the scientists had to hack their way through with machetes. Birds are back in the atolls, replacing those that were killed or so blinded that they starved to death...
