This ability to spot a missile is the result of a mammoth effort. It took 2,900 firms two years to build and equip the Thule station and three years to build a similar station at Clear, Alaska. Both were turned over to NORAD on New Year's Day, 1962. A third station under construction at Fylingdales Moor in England will complete this Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS...
Entire communities were moving into action as never before. The Kingston, N.Y., common council called for bids to equip 15 acres of limestone caves, in which mushrooms are presently grown commercially, as atomic shelters.

But last week, emboldened by recent guerrilla successes, they dared to attack the U.S. ambassador himself right in the capital of Saigon. Only nine weeks at his new post, Ambassador Frederick E. Nolting Jr. was riding to his official residence for lunch when two men hurled a homemade hand grenade onto the roof of his car, fled on a motorcycle...
