...bodybuilding flick. Although not a muscle beach spectacular featuring Mike Marvel and his "he-man" friends (in six weeks you can look like this or your money back), the film also would disappoint anyone hoping for an incisive psychological examination of why men would suffer so much pain to deform their bodies.

Furthermore, the telescope has been so meticulously designed that the stresses caused by such movements deform its reflector by no more than about four-hundredths of an inch, an important factor in maintaining a sharp "image." Not the least of the antenna's advantages is its site: located at the bottom of a tree-lined valley, it should be well shielded by the surrounding hills from commercial microwaves...
Neutrons produced by the ABM blast could also cause crippling damage at a range of about two miles. Penetrating into the ICBM's outer shell of uranium 238, they can produce slow fission, causing heat that may deform the warhead or set off its lens charges. The neutrons may also whiz into the warhead's core of uranium 235, causing it to explode in a premature nuclear blast while still hundreds of miles from its target...
