All would be housed in 90-ft.-deep silos, located at least seven miles apart to prevent an enemy warhead from destroying two sites...
...Ashamed. When John came out of the Army in June 1967, they practiced together for six months and pooled their resources. Early last year they were ready for a new career and a new name: Creedence (a blend of creed and credence, indicating their belief in themselves) Clearwater ("Something deep, true and pure, through which the light always shines," says John), and Revival (symbolizing their new direction...
