...University's Committee on Civil Defense has recommended against the construction of any separate fallout shelters, the CRIMSON learned yesterday. The Committee also concluded that "the limited possibility of saving people does not warrant investment in blast shelters...
...large-yield weapons field, caught up with it in the medium-yield field, and are closing the gap in the low-yield range. This gives the Russians great military flexibility and enables them to place more powerful warheads on smaller missiles. The top Russian test blast of 58 megatons would have yielded 100 megatons if it had not been encased in a lead jacket, and U.S. experts estimate that its air-dropped device weighed only 20,000 to 30,000 lbs. If that estimate is correct, the Russians could easily refine the device into a 100-megaton warhead...
...Crimson struck first after only 2:36 of the first session. Tommy Heintsman fed Dean Alpine at center ice, and Alpine cut loose with a long low shot from about five feet inside the blue line. Yale goalie Scott Nelson, who made 52 saves tonight, never touched this blast...
...biggest Soviet blast produced nearly 60 megatons-and it could easily have gone well over 100 megatons if the Russians had not muffled the explosion by encasing the bomb in lead instead of raw uranium. More important, they made vast improvements in the vital weight-yield ratios of their nuclear weapons. The tests opened the way for the Russians to develop nuclear warheads for their missiles that will be much more powerful than the warhead on the Titan II, the biggest U.S. missile, which has a punch of less than 10 megatons. The Russians also developed fission triggers for their...
...newsstands, the new Sunday paper had a clean, uncluttered look (six columns to the page instead of the customary eight), and it was certainly easy to carry home (8 oz. v. the 4 Ib. 2 oz. of the New York Times). The pictures were played for dramatic effect: a blast-off shot of Saturn, the U.S.'s largest rocket, soared majestically the length of the page; a glowering portrait of Brigadier General William B. Rosson, the U.S. Army's guerrilla warfare expert, was brutally cropped to eliminate part of the general's brow, all of his hair...
