ASPIRITUAL-TYPE piece that the Fish do runs in the same vein. "Please don't drop that H-bomb on me, drop it on yourself," Joe pleads, and then, as if to say that the only way to fight the destruction and evil and hideousness of War is to turn on, the group begins immediately to play the beautiful "Thought Dream...
...frigid ice sheet 7 miles from Thule, Greenland, last week, members of an Air Force recovery team continued their hunt for H-bomb parts and contaminated debris scattered by the crash of a B-52 SAC bomber last month. Searchers armed with scintillation counters came upon chunks of wreckage that caused their instruments to go off scale at their maximum 2 million counts-per-minute rate-indicating a level that was above the highest count recorded at the Palomares, Spain, crash site in 1966. To minimize the threat that the radiation poses to plant and animal life, the recovery operation...
Spies who stay out in the Detroit cold these days are working overtime trying to turn up intelligence about the final styling and appearance of the new Continental Mark III. As it happens, Ford Motor's Lincoln-Mercury division is shielding the Mark III like an H-bomb until its well-publicized first appearance at the Chicago auto show late this month. Last week, however, at least one spy managed to foil Ford's counter-intelligence and photograph a Mark III during trial spins at the company's Dearborn test track. The picture shows a very stylish...
Thus far, the H-bomb's fail-safe systems have not been foiled even by shattering falls from high altitudes, as happened at Palomares. In that accident, two hydrogen bombs split open on impact and spilled plutonium, dusting nearby farms, which had to be tediously decontaminated. The same kind of low-level alpha radiation, officially described as "negligible," was discovered on the icebound bay off northwestern Greenland last week. The U.S. airmen who detected the radioactivity reached the blackened, 500-yd.-long crash site on Eskimo dog sleds, the only means available in the swirling snow and 50-m.p.h...
McNamara. Under it, NATO will counter any Soviet attack with a three-phase graduated response that will begin with conventional weapons, step up to limited-range battlefield nuclear missiles, and progress to all-out H-bomb attack on the Soviet Union only if the Russians refuse to withdraw...
