All of the knockout punch is thermonuclear and aimed by the most advanced intelligence and command techniques, undoubtedly including spy satellites and pushbuttons. It sounds like Armageddon Physicist Herman Kahn in his current Clausewitzian study, On Escalation: Metaphors and Scenarios, argues that high-intensity war has a rationale. He identifies 44 stages of escalation, ranging from "Ostensible Crisis," in which no bridges are burned (Rung 1), through "Constrained Force-Reduction Salvo against weak links at the outbreak...

Pevler, the Norfolk & Western's president, attached some prickly provisos to their willingness to take in the indigents, notably that some layer of Government permanently pick up the tab for commuter losses on three of them.
