...Pershing shots, 16 families who live in a 15-mile zone in front of the launching site were evacuated to hotels and fed at Government expense.

Residents of the corridors over which the missiles fly are unaffected, since scientists insist that the odds against a mishap are astronomical once the big birds have achieved their ballistic trajectories.
