Light Brain. One important weight saving is in the General Electric and Raytheon guidance system, the lightest ever devised for a ballistic missile. The computer, which does the missile's thinking in flight, weighs only half as much as its predecessor. But accuracy has not been sacrificed.

As a general rule, vaulters like to use the lightest pole possible, since light poles are more flexible and give a more vigorous snap, sending them higher into...
