Zwicky and Baade even suggested a possible location of such a neutron star. They predicted that one might be found in the center of the expanding gases of the celebrated Crab Nebula, the site of a Milky Way supernova that was observed by Chinese astronomers...
...stand on defense budget cuts is typical. In the House he voted against the B-1 bomber and the neutron bomb, but also opposed efforts to cut defense-related jobs at the Mitre Corporation in Bedford, Lincoln Labs in Lexington, and Cambridge Research Laboratories at Hanscom Field. He also worked against attempts to close Fort Devens, and to remove funding for ballistic missile defense program research from the defense appropriations package...
...Brooke favored the neutron bomb, but Tsongas now attacks the senator on what he terms his "performance" and his "accessibility," not his record. "When was the last time you saw Brooke?" and "When was the last time Brooke did anything for you?" are the questions Tsongas asks the voters.

And, although neither Tsongas nor any other candidate will mention it, the question they clearly hope the voters are asking about Brooke is, "Can he be trusted...
Washington, in turn, has considerable reason to be irritated with the Soviets. Despite the Administration's cancellation of the B-l bomber and deferral of a decision on the neutron bomb, moves that Carter hoped might bring some corresponding gesture from Moscow, the Russians have shown little flexibility in SALT or in the talks to control conventional arms in Central Europe.

He gets around as Lippmann never did. Kraft can dispose of Jerry Brown one day, the Federal Reserve or neutron bomb the next, argue in another column that Carter follows "a policy of divine misguidance" (he has from the beginning condescended to Carter), then emplane to the Horn of Africa to see things for himself. Kraft talks to everybody and is well informed, but his judgments are made...
