Always Ready. Solid fuel can also be stored in the vehicle. Thus the rocket is always ready. Liquid fuels are so combustible and dangerous to handle that the)' must be pumped in at the last moment. This means a delay of many minutes or even hours between an alert and firing time, also involves costly storage tanks and pumps. In contrast, Minuteman should be able to wait quietly, year after year, in a cylindrical hole in the ground, then take off on a 6,000-mile flight on a few seconds' notice...

...America. The stage difficulties involved are immediate and persistent. The adapters really have little to dramatize beyond a genially hard-hitting personality that best conveys itself in the first person, and a pungent egalitarian philosophy of life that seems blatantly pious when acted out. Adapters Lawrence and Lee must, in fact, swell out into two hours of theater what is not only ill suited to the theater, but what even in book form comes off best in ten-minute draughts...
