...four-acre deck with foam in case of heavy attack.* But at dockside, the carrier was most vulnerable to fire damage, and entirely dependent on outside help. At the naval inquiry, Lieut. Milano admitted that 42 small fires had been snuffed out aboard Constellation before last week's holocaust...
...inappropriate questions as "How does one apply the Sermon on the Mount to foreign policy?" This failure to understand the difference between public and private morality, argues Murray, leads to the disastrously false alternatives that often characterize U.S. foreign or military policy, e.g., sentimental pacifism or all-out atomic holocaust. Murray believes that there is morally valid territory between these extremes, that war may be legitimate in the defensive repression of injustice, and that the concept of limited war has moral significance.

Mao, who knows that it is not China that will get hit in a nuclear holocaust, has insistently been crying out against the folly of "softness" toward capitalism. Within the Kremlin itself, there are powerful men who share Peking's distaste for Khrushchev's peaceful coexistence. When Khrushchev launched his tirade against the West at the Czech embassy, one Western guest noticed some of Russia...
