Lobbyists and a few journalists knew their power, but Cannon and his moles went largely undisturbed while the great legislative whales like Sam Rayburn and Lyndon Johnson talked high policy about testing hydrogen bombs, shooting for the moon or passing voting rights legislation...
...uproar was over the Administration's decision to build the so-called neutron bomb, which is designed to kill as many people as a regular hydrogen bomb ten times its size, and yet cause less damage to nearby buildings (see diagram). U.S. military planners say that small neutron warheads installed on howitzer shells or Lance missiles, which have ranges of 20 and 70 miles, respectively, are the best way to deter or counter the most feared conventional attack by Soviet forces: a massive tank assault across Central Europe. (Warsaw Pact countries have 44,000 tanks compared with NATO...

Yet these measures have failed either because the pacts have not been signed by all the nuclear nations, or because their terms were weak or limited, or because scattered throughout the nonproliferation efforts are test explosions of atomic and hydrogen bombs that give the chronology the sound of an anvil chorus...

Another puzzle is why the bulky, swept-winged "bird" showed greater lift than expected on descent, which carried it half a mile beyond its intended landing spot at Edwards Air Force Base in California. A small glitch was caused by the failure of the shuttle's zero-g toilet...
