Dressed in white coveralls, blue neck bands and combat boots, each pistolpacking Air Force officer spends 24 continuous hours in "the hole" every four days, monitoring a control panel that can aim and fire ten Minutemen housed in underground silos various distances away. It is intermittent work that leaves some idle time, and the big majority of the men spend the spare hours as graduate students working toward an M.A. in business administration from Ohio State University, 1,200 miles away...

It is led under the skin, behind the ear and down the neck to a point where it is spliced into the internal jugular vein. The excess brain fluid is thus dripped into the bloodstream, where the body readily disposes of it. Another Silastic preparation, which looks like a sheet of waxed paper, serves to correct a different type of brain problem: when part of the brain's parchmentlike covering, the dura mater...
