...airborne before the threatening missiles could cripple it on the ground. Since then, SAC has learned how to get B-52 heavy-jet and B-47 medium-jet bombers airborne, hydrogen bombs in their bellies, within an astonishing seven minutes of alarm klaxon's howl (including two minutes for taxiing down a 10,000-ft. apron to the runway). SAC has keyed its 3,700 combat crews so tautly to what SAC Commanding General Thomas Sarsfield Power calls "the compression of time in the Atomic Age" that SAC is even designing a new type of slip-on shoe...

Once a week Russian Specialist William Mandel reports for 15 minutes on what Russians are being told by their newspapers and magazines. No cause is too controversial to get a hearing. Example: KPFA gave air time to Congressman Robert Condon to defend himself...
...board's new policy holds up, it may affect as many as 9,500 students-the i% of the school population estimated to be the hard-core punks. It raised a howl among some teacher and civic groups as "an act of desperation" and "an abject surrender to pressure," and there was talk that the policy might be challenged in the courts. Since the city is desperately short of means to keep rein on delinquents awaiting trial, some officials joined the critics in wondering whether the board was not merely turning them "right out into the streets...
