...overall plan, which the U.S. terms "clear and hold," is to establish base areas, called "oil spots" or "ink blots" by Khanh, and slowly spread government influence to surrounding Viet Cong territory (see following story). McNamara is convinced that the "ink blot" program can work, although he concedes that "they do not yet know where to put all the blots...
They are pure and classic idols. All they have to do is lift their arms or shake their waterweed hair to provoke screams that would blot out an allclear signal. This is the oddest thing in the Beatles' strange celebrity. They are adulated singers whose swarming fans scream so steadily through each song that they cannot possibly hear what is being sung.

This location is roughly 200 miles from the nearest large city, El Paso, and thus relatively free from television and radio broadcasts which might blot out solar signals. Although some man-made radiation does reach Cook Flat, the hills which rise 1500 feet above the valley's floor reduce this interference by a factor of over 100. Eight miles from Cook Flat is the town of Fort Davis (population 600), where the Harvard station has set up offices and dark-rooms...
