...gestation to delivery." Thanks largely to the protective canopy of U.S. power, the nations of the region enjoy the freedom to develop their own way. The value of that canopy was not lost on Asia's nations last week when Red China reported that it had launched a nuclear missile and may soon be capable of striking every nation on Asia's rim from Korea to Pakistan (see THE WORLD). As the Economist editorialized at week...
...described as another example of China's "rowing against the stream of the world." Perhaps in tacit agreement, Communist newspapers in Warsaw and Paris downplayed the news as much as possible, but Paris' independent Le Figaro pronounced China "in the fullest sense of the word a nuclear power...

The Chinese bomb last week was a 20-kiloton device, about the same size as the Hiroshima bomb and considerably less powerful than the third Chinese A-bomb (130 kilotons) detonated last May. There was conflicting opinion among Western scientists as to whether or not the bomb had been reduced by its builders to the tiny, rugged component parts needed to carry a big bang in a small warhead. If the bomb was "miniaturized...

Despite the math problems, the Air Force is determined to develop computerized RSA, or at least a combination of human analysts and computers, as quickly as possible. In the event of a nuclear war there would be little time for human analysts to leaf through a radar signature catalog in an effort to differentiate between an incoming ICBM warhead and its decoys. Only a computer could spot the authentic warhead radar signature quickly enough to order its interception and destruction by defending missiles...
