...like a firefly in a darkened room." That is also when a missile defense is most efficient: a single hit, by a laser beam, for instance, can destroy ten warheads at once. In post-boost and mid-course phases, the separated warheads are vastly more difficult to find and distinguish from decoys. On re-entry, the decoys burn up, and only the warheads continue to plunge through the atmosphere. But if there are, say, 5,000 left out of an original launch of 10,000, they could easily overwhelm any conceivable "terminal" defense. Besides, by then it might...

IBM alone sells seven basic variations on its bestselling model, ranging from the low-cost PCjr to the top-of-the-line IBM PC AT. To distinguish between these machines, consumers have to measure memory in kilobytes and disc storage in megabytes. To understand the pros and cons of IBM-compatible computers built by AT&T, Compaq or Hewlett-Packard, they must learn to identify silicon chips by name and measure their speeds in millions of cycles per second...
