This whole business of military intelligence is very intricate and complex, he said, and no one basis or channel of thought can be used to reach a proper estimate on which a government or a commander...
...little coastal freighter barely made it to the lee of Caldy Island, in the Bristol Channel, one mile off the Welsh coast. Bound out from the Scottish port of Irvine on a 30-hour run to the Welsh port of Milford Haven, the 700-ton St. Angus had run into one of the winter's wildest storms, which raked and pounded Britain from the Hebrides to the Scilly Isles.

Ignoring supersonic bombers and ICBMs, Britain's angry old field marshal added darkly that the tunnel would end "the inviolability of our island against the footsteps of an invader." To placate such critics, tunnel planners have included a dip at either end which could be flooded quickly to thwart invaders, pumped out later. The only cogent argument against construction of a tunnel, as the Times once commented, is that it would end the debate as to whether it ever was a good plan, "thus depriving...
