...scare headlines in the U.S., but intelligence sources voiced strong doubt that Khrushchev's flyswatter really existed. Last week the U.S. answered his boast with a well-timed rejoinder. On Kwajalein atoll in the mid-Pacific, a winged Nike-Zeus missile lurched skyward atop a shaft of flame, soared more than 100,000 feet, and-for the first time-intercepted an intercontinental ballistic missile that had been launched some 20 minutes earlier at 16,000 m.p.h. from California, 4,700 miles away...

As the 40-ft gas flame danced on the point of the Space Needle at twilight on opening night last week, President Gandy looked out through his office window.
