...tapes are now being catalogued in a closely guarded Washington archive. Some Republicans fear that release of the tapes (not expected for at least two more years) could severely damage Connally, as could a few well-timed leaks.

...Adams to establish the difference between the documentary uses of photography and the aesthetic, or, as he prefers to say, "emotional." The landscapes on which his reputation rests are scarcely concerned with documentation at all. There are no people in them. They say nothing about society or history. They contain no news. The world they tell us about is exceedingly remote from ordinary experience.

...additional safeguard, every shelter will contain 96 tons of weights (about equal to the MX), which the TEL would pick up when it drops off a real missile. This would prevent Soviet sensors from discerning the change in the TEL's rumble that would be caused if it no longer carried a load. If the TEL suddenly seemed lighter, for instance, Moscow could conclude that it had deposited an MX at its last stop. The TEL would also carry equipment constantly emitting the same amount of gamma rays and heat as would be given...
