...those two 15-minute flights, Polaris gave firm promise that the U.S. is ready to move into a new age of security and deterrence with a revolutionary weapons system. The nuclear subs that are its launching platforms can roam the world's oceans at will, difficult to detect and destroy, ready to deliver their lethal birds on targets 1,200 miles away with an accuracy within a mile. One sub alone packs 16 missiles, and each shipload of missiles packs the explosive punch of all the bombs expended by both sides in World War II (including the A-bombs...

...lurching and truncated rhythms, tone colors as varied and highly personal as the sound of a human voice. The Coleman Quartet plays mostly Ornette's own compositions-pieces with odd private titles such as Invisible, so named because the song's key (D-flat) is hard to detect, and Congeniality, suggested by the personality of a wandering preacher he once knew...
