The most serious work in Cambridge directly related to the development of nuclear weaponry takes place at Draper Laboratories, which only helps devise the guidance systems for certain missiles. Nuclear bombs are not built within city limits: no explosive or radioactive materials are used. Supporters counter that Cambridge will be a safer place to live because it somehow would be lowered on the Soviet hit list--specious logic since Cambridge would still be in the backyard of hi-tech Boston...
Mobilization members may counter that there is no national consensus on nuclear arms, that no research on nuclear weapons--even that work that would make them safer, or better able to defer a Soviet attack--is good.

A color TV perched bar-style in the corner above the counter is the focal point for those waiting for their food...
