Early last week, determined to get power back into their own hands, the die-hards prepared a parliamentary mousetrap for Paratroop General Jacques Massu, who had pledged his soldierly loyalty to De Gaulle on De Gaulle's visit to Algiers a fortnight ago. By careful prearrangement, a decoy faction among the diehards noisily proposed that the junta adopt a resolution denouncing De Gaulle and all his works. When Massu, as co-president of the junta, protested, the remainder of the diehards introduced a "moderate" counter-resolution. And when the decoy faction grumblingly accepted the second resolution, Massu was convinced...
...courtyard of the Hotel Matignon, official Parisian residence of France's Premiers. Instantly, the shoal of reporters who were keeping a round-the-clock watch on the final agonies of the Fourth Republic set off in hot pursuit. As they left (in chase after a decoy), a slim, white-haired man whose features were drawn with fatigue slipped quietly out the back door of the Hotel Matignon and got into another car.

...orders to proceed, they must automatically turn around and head home. Should they get the order to go on-e.g., "Implement Plan Red Fox Eight"-they must still check the order with base command; they must go through several cross checks on message and frequency to ensure against decoy; they must get yet another confirmatory order to proceed.

...missile is a speedy, jet-engined vehicle with 5,000-mile range and a mission as unique as its name. Made of fiber glass, the Goose can be fitted with radar reflectors to make it resemble almost any craft including a B-52 Stratofortress or a B58 Hustler, thus decoy enemy defense away from the real bombers. The Goose will have a lightweight, 2,000-lb.-thrust J83 engine, also a Fairchild development. Fortnight ago the J83 passed its Air Force qualification test, and now the Goose is ready for a production contract that the Air Force will only...
...seven hours to target as opposed to 15 to 30 minutes for the intercontinental ballistic missiles still under development. But Snark can carry thermonuclear warhead accurately to target at 5,000 milerange. And Snark, added or not with countermeasures to confuse enemy radar, is also a highly promising decoy weapon to lure enemy defenders away from main strike forces delivering the decisive blows elsewhere...
