Lapp took strong issue with the Pentagon's Dr. Finn Larsen, who last month insisted that the population below would scarcely notice the explosions of Spartan and Sprint warheads, and that at worst humans might suffer temporary blindness if they were looking directly at the flash. Exploded 100 miles above New Brunswick, N.J., Lapp said, a one-megaton weapon would create a spectacular, incandescent fire-pancake 50 miles up so large that it would overlap both New York and Philadelphia...
...Hiroshima, published in 1946, consisted of 35,000 simple, meticulously arranged and muted words that told the story of six people who, a year earlier, had survived the biggest unnatural disaster in history. In that account, eyes ran from sockets, flesh bubbled from bone, a city disappeared in a flash. Yet the damage report was not complete, as Yale Research Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton shows in this compassionate and important study of the malaise that still pollutes the spirits of many survivors.

To measure the distance between the two reference points, the patrolman flips on the distance switch when he reaches the first point...
...lusty performance that emphasized the low-life origins of the heroine (who in the Dumas novel went from waif to courtesan to wreck within eight years). Silja contributed considerably to that characterization with a tense, far-ranging voice (31 octaves) and a spectacular stage presence that can flash with the music's mood from tigress to tragedienne. The ultimate tribute to the Silja Traviata was apparent immediately after each performance; at the Frankfurt Opera Restaurant young girls startled their escorts by unconsciously adopting the Silja stance and mannerisms, enraptured with the emotion of the event...
