...Command's Vandenberg Air Force Base. The West Coast missile complex is designed to take up where Cape Canaveral leaves off; i.e., primarily to shoot operational missiles and train crews to handle them. One Western advantage : satellites can be flung thence into polar orbits (see diagram) without hazard to populated areas...

It is more charitable, if perhaps less realistic to assume, that the City of Cambridge is lazy rather than concerned about spending another $90.

Within an hour volunteer rescuers arrived, each toting 45 Ibs. of special oxygen equipment, and started down the 13,800-ft. shaft. Eighty-one survivors were brought up, their faces blank with shock.

As expected, because fallout tends to concentrate on grass and thus get into browsing cows, there was some increase in radioactivity of milk and milk products. While this was so slight as to be no hazard now, Dr. Laug warned: "This first part of a continuing study shows that there is something to watch...
