...stops further MIRV deployment. The U.S., meanwhile, is free to go ahead with advances like its ULMS longer-range submarine-launched missile system, which involves at least ten advanced subs with 24 missiles each. Both sides are expected to spend heavily on observation satellites to detect any cheating by the other. They can also spend heavily, if they wish, on new nuke-carrying bombers. As both nations continue to spar for technical advantages, no immediate savings in weapons costs are expected...
Worst First. Typically, the inspector uses noisemeters to tell whether the thrumming of machines could harm workers' ears, checks other instruments to detect potentially explosive gas leaks, and looks for missing guards on presses that can chop off an arm in a second. What have inspectors found? No eye washes in battery-charger areas, storage racks piled so high that they could fall on a worker, and no protective hearing devices...
...CONVINCED, HOWEVER, that "dominoism" does contain one important kernel of reality. For as I review the record of our Indochina involvement. I detect--as Daniel Ellsberg has put it--one crucial domino that seems to have obsessed each American President since Mr. Truman: namely, the Administration in power in Washington. By this I mean that each President has sensed a "lesson" from the Democrats' so-called "loss of China" in 1949 and their defeat at the polls in 1952--and has concluded that the "loss" of South Vietnam to communism will bring about his own Administration's downfall...
...modicum of light. Furthermore, Brady's calculations indicate that the planet is now located in the Constellation Cassiopeia, which is cluttered with so many stars that the planet would be hard to find. Nonetheless, Brady is hopeful that a sharp-eyed astronomer, scanning photographic plates, will some day detect a dim pinpoint of light reflected from far-off Planet...
...close as Tech Square, where Polaroid makes the filters necessary for terrain-following radar. This radar makes it possible for planes to fly in the dark close enough to the ground to detect the enemy" with infrared sensors, which respond to the warmth of their bodies, and with "people sniffers," which detect the ammonia in human perspiration. Without the terrain-following radar, the planes would risk flying into a mountainside, for they fly without lights to avoid providing a target for anti-aircraft fire. The A-armed with these devices, "makes ground movement after dark a nightmare," the plane...
