True, high altitude bombers sent against warships "have their limitations. They can seldom see a target on the ground clearly, except by radar." And with "ordinary bombs which fly many miles horizontally as they drop they cannot hit the side of a barn-they cannot even hit a small city with any assurance . . . [But] the guided bomb alters this whole situation ... A great ship alone on the sea is a clear target to radar and a clear target for a guided bomb." Therefore, unless some effective seagoing defense against airborne attack comes along, "the days of the large fighting ships...
...dire as others predict. "For a long time to come," at least, there would not be fleets of fast and high-flying intercontinental bombers. The atom bomb would be dropped, but it is not the abso lute weapon it has been said to be. It is not even as devastating as popularly supposed, says Bush.

These side effects soon pass, and Tibione (unlike streptomycin) can be given to a patient for months or even years. It is taken in tablet form, usually four times a day. Because the drug was developed during the war, the German patents are no good and any U.S. manufacturer can make it. A few patients in U.S. hospitals have been dosed with Tibione; it will soon be tried on thousands...
