...counter jamming is to use so many frequencies that the opponent cannot obliterate them all. The Voice now uses 36 stations and the BBC 25. They change their frequencies suddenly and often, instructing the Russian listeners to "search all short-wave bands." This keeps the jammers on the jump. It takes them about twelve seconds on the average to find and jam a dodging program. In the unjammed interval, an alert Russian listener may sometimes pick up a tidbit of news...

Whether the bomber can dodge in time out of the deadly beam, or jam the missile's radio receiver before it seeks out its target, Mc-Narney does not say.

Nothing, but absolutely nothing, turns out right. The hero, that usually indestructible character, blunders into a hopeless jam and ends his days being squeezed into a fine aspic by the pressure in 100 fathoms of water. The heroine marries the villain in a fit of pique after her uncle has been burned to a crisp by the hero. Her life with the villain is very unhappy and she soon dies spouting cliches in the arms...
