Despite this impressive array of hardware, ADC and NORAD officers are pushing for at least three new defense systems: 1) the 2,000-m.p.h. YF-12A manned interceptor; 2) the Airborne Warning Control System (AWACS), using high-flying radar planes to detect low-flying bombers that try to sneak in under regular radar; 3) the Army's Nike-X system (TIME, June 18), designed to destroy enemy missiles. So far, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara has not given a go-ahead on any of the three...
...such chronic debtors, many psychiatrists detect a glint of masochism. "Consider the language of debt," says Manhattan's Dr. Harold Greenwald. "People have to 'beat someone out of his money,' or debtors are 'pushed to the wall' by their creditors." One of Greenwald's patients wept after he paid off his last creditor; he felt as if he were leaving someone who needed him. San Francisco's Dr. Alfred Auerback believes that overwhelming debt creates enormous tensions and strains within families. "Young people today," says he, "assume they should have...

...detect the existence of the anti-deuteron, Dr. Leon M. Lederman and his group worked with a device called a mass spectrometer at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. Using Brookhaven's 33 billion electron volt synchrotron, they bombarded a target of beryllium with a beam of high-energy protons. This resulted in a debris of. particles that sped through the 300-ft. magnetic field of the spectrometer, where they could be sorted and analyzed. When 16 giant, 20-ton magnets were set to pass positively charged particles, the apparatus made careful readings of the flight path, momentum...
...uses lightning-fast electronic switching instead of the conventional radar an tenna to direct its beams, thus can "see" 360° at a glance. The Army now has a prototype MAR installation at White Sands, N. Mex., is building another on Kwajalein Island in the Pacific. MAR can 1) detect incoming missiles hundreds of miles away; 2) determine which of the missiles have warheads and which are decoys; and 3) track the missiles as they streak toward their U.S. targets...
