Early Warning. When Soviet missiles were first discovered in Cuba, the U.S. hastily improvised an early-warning system. Three Air Force long-range radar units, designed to track satellites, were focused on Cuba to pick up any sign of a firing. The network would have provided about five minutes' warning for the mid-Atlantic coastal region and about 15 minutes for most of the Strategic...

More significant is the fact that in the South the Bureau must work hand in hand with local police on a myriad of law-enforcement matters, ranging from postal fraud to moonshine liquor.

Because the experience he speaks from is so often beyond the boundaries established for our own lives, his conclusions are often difficult for white audiences to apprehend. Recently, as popular magazines have grown more willing to publish his work, Baldwin has appeared to be increasingly conscious of the gap between his readers and himself; and now, in the Nov. 17 issue of the New Yorker, he has published...
