This year's Yardling team has the dubious honor of following in the steps of Harvard's greatest freshman nine. Last season's squad went undefeated. Coach Kenneth Klug said, "We have the talent to win every ball game this year, too. It's a short season with fourteen games in just four weeks, so crazy things could happen, but we have a good all-around hitting team...

In the inexorable minuet of military science, each advance in either offense or defense provokes efforts to restore the balance. Fourteen years ago, the So viets had no offensive-missile force to speak of, though they had the ability to build one. U.S. development started in 1955 and soon led to the first, primitive ABM project, the Nike-Zeus. Testing showed that Zeus could indeed stop an incoming missile under ideal conditions; dummy aggressors launched from California were intercepted by defenders based...
