Like in W.W. II guys used the Ml, a. Browning automatic rifle, grenades, some machine guns and a bazooka to knock out tanks, if they were close enough. Like 20 ft., our drill instructor said. That's sort of a joke. Well, the M-16 is a lot easier to handle than the Ml, and it can be used after dark. It's got a night scope that can pick up targets a mile away using infra-red light. And you should see what we have instead of the old bazooka. First there...
...picture is a boring botch in every way, unconsciously exemplifying the film's title. When the first domino in a row is somebody like Stanley Kramer, you can count on him to fall down clumsily and knock down all the rest...

Meanwhile, although the fact has received surprisingly little publicity, the U.S. is on the verge of taking a big step forward in its own ability to knock out Soviet ICBMS in their steel-and-concrete silos. The startling success of the new program has important implications for the delicate balance of terror between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The developments are bound to be an important factor when the two nuclear superpowers begin low-key SALT...
...constituents who praised the program spoke in generalities; nearly all those who mentioned specific parts of the plan denounced them-above all, the proposal to enact stand-by taxes on gasoline. It is just that combination of generalized, but lukewarm, support and fierce opposition to specifics that could knock out important chunks of the program, leaving it shapeless. Those folks the Administration sends out to chat on TV may have a tough job ahead...
