The nation that makes or acquires a few plutonium detonators can upgrade them without much difficulty into city-busting H-bombs. "The cost of deuterium," says one British scientist, "is about like good champagne...
...Astronaut Glenn's adventure involved far more than mere sightseeing in space. He encountered difficulties that turned his journey into a nightmare of suspense. Passing within radio range of Guaymas, Mexico, on his first orbit, his attitude control system began to act up.
