Each of the 200 missiles would have its own oval "racetrack," ten to 15 miles long. Along every track would be 23 underground shelters. Playing a kind of shell game, a monstrous, 180-ft.-long TEL (transporter-erector-launcher) would laboriously haul the MX from one shelter to another. Or the TEL might leave the missile in place for a while and carry a dummy MX to another shelter or around the course. Watching from the sky, Soviet spy satellites could never be sure exactly where the missile was and hence would have to target all 23 shelters on each...
...gigantic haul was the second major loss Weinberg had experienced in just three days. On March 6 he set out to send to Canada three aluminum containers, each 6 ft. by 6 ft., that were filled with scraps of gold and silver. Two of the containers made it onto the plane.

It is not sullenly antisocial, like the blaring radios the size of steamer trunks that adolescents haul onto public buses to cook up a small pot of community rage, or the occasional pistols that got waved in gas lines...
...exactly the smothering warmth Americans, unlike Europeans, have come to expect. In apartment buildings with fireplaces, urbanites are joining the national craze for wood power. When Chicago's park district had some trees chopped down in Lincoln Park last month, the loggers outran the joggers to haul away the wood before the city could remove...
