...Dear Old Mum. Caine plowed ahead through 31 years in repertory, bit parts in the movies and television-mixing it all with survival jobs in laundries, factories and a pie-baking establishment.

More than $2 billion has already been spent to develop such a system built around the Nike-X missile, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are unanimous in favoring its full deployment. Secretary McNamara, on the other hand, has steadfastly balked at the more than $30 billion that the antiballistic missile system would cost. He has claimed in the past that the program would not be effective without a shelter...
