...Heavier Rock, Bigger Bang. "We used the same paint," says Stanley W. Burriss, manager of the Lockheed Aircraft division that is prime contractor for the missile. "But just about everything else is new." Burriss estimates that only 10% of the A3's components came from the A2. The new missile is about 16 in. longer than the A2, and its bullet-shaped nose is discarded after the missile has cleared the atmosphere, uncovering the warhead (missile engineers call it the rock) which is heavier, more powerful. According to unofficial reports, the A-3 packs 750 kilotons of bang instead...
...toss its heavier load 1,000 extra miles, the A-3 packs more thrust and less deadweight. First-stage fuel, made by Aerojet General Corp., is denser, so that more can be carried in the same space. It is also more powerful, producing a hotter flame (6,300 to 6,600° F.) and more thrust. The casing that restrains its pressure (800 to 900 lbs. per sq. in.) has been lightened by making it out of filament-wound glass fiber instead of metal...

"If we give him a heavier sentence than he got the first time, maybe that will serve as a lesson to the others...
Wesker's chip is on his shoulder, and in heavier hands his play might have been doctrinaire agitprop-wash. It escapes that dreary fate, thanks to the playwright's good humor, dramatic interplay and irony, together with Director John Dexter's drillmasterly pacing. It is, in its own lingo, a scorching fine evening of theater...
