Defensively, the U.S. Safeguard antiballistic-missile system has just narrowly won Senate approval; the Soviets already have 67 relatively unsophisticated Galosh ABMs dug in around Moscow, and the U.S. fears that they may begin putting ABMs into the so-called Tallinn Line in the western U.S.S.R...

An added ith of an inch, translated into bronze, projected to the building's full height, and multiplied by all the mullions involved, might mean added thousands of dollars...
