...thermonuclear bombers of Strategic Air Command. The key results of Admiral Holloway's power: i) Lebanon and nearby Jordan-buttressed by 2,000 British paratroops-were still untouched by the revolutionary fire in Iraq; 2) U.S. allies from Iceland to the Philippines got proof that the U.S. would deploy and fight if need be to save small friendly powers from subversion; 3) Arab nationalism, whether led by Nasser or not, had been shown that...
From the Union lines, behind the stone wall on the crest of Cemetery Ridge, First Lieut. Frank A. Haskell looked down on the forming ranks of the Confederacy: "More than half a mile their front extends; more than a thousand yards the dull grey masses deploy, man touching man, rank pressing rank, and line supporting line. The red flags wave, their horsemen gallop up and down; the arms of eighteen thousand men, barrel and bayonet, gleam in the sun, a sloping forest of flashing steel. Right on they move, as with one soul, in perfect order, without impediment of ditch...
Until the ICBMs are ready, the Air Force must depend upon its manned thermonuclear bombers reinforced by its only near-operational intercontinental guided missile, the Northrop Snark, an air-breathing, star-guided, 600-m.p.h. missile that can take a hydrogen warhead 5,000 miles to target or deploy electronic countermeasures over an enemy heartland to lure defenders away from main bomber strikes elsewhere...

It has test-fired ten Thors, five successfully, two part-successfully, has a production line going, expects to deploy well upward of 20 Thors into Europe with "initial operational capability...
...should break out, NATO forces would deploy to defend Europe and the West, but not the geographical integrity of their most exposed European member, West Germany. Since taking over as the federal republic's Defense Minister last year, stocky, hard-driving Franz Josef Strauss has been preparing plans for a home army "under German not NATO control, to try and protect the Fatherland." Last week Strauss named a member of an old Prussian military family, Major General Hans-Joachim von Horn, 61, to organize and command such a force...
