Yet considerable conjecture remains over the effects of these explosions. Extrapolating from some equipment failures after an American test over Johnston Island in the North Pacific 20 years ago, defense planners concluded that high-altitude blasts send out a shock wave called electromagnetic pulse (EMP), which can burn out transistorized and computerized communications for thousands of miles around...

He also fingered three renowned scientists who had already made much of that information public in articles and interviews, but unlike the Progressive, avoided prosecution: Princeton's Theodore Taylor; M.I.T.'s George Rathjens; and Stanford's Edward Teller...
