Last week a second test model of the 5,000-mile ICBM, the Atlas, stood erect and gleaming on its launching pad at sunny Cape Canaveral, Fla., ready to blast off. (The U.S.'s first Atlas, launched last June, was blown up in midair by an electronic signal after a fuel-system failure.)

...heighten the impact of these revelations, Cozzens feeds the reader key episodes from Arthur Winner's past with flashbacks so deft as to be intravenous. There is Lawyer Arthur Winner Sr., a dispassionate Victorian man of reason, his son's model and hero. An agnostic, he has been cut down in the fullness of life by cancer, and young Arthur learns his first sobering lesson-"How dies the wise man ... as the fool."
