...Causes of World War III may not be the most important book of the century, but that is not to say that it shouldn't be. The propositions advanced by C. Wright Mills are so important and most of them seem so obvious that it is surprising that someone did not write this book earlier...

Obvious conclusion: the space ports of the future may have to be in far northern Canada or Antarctica, where men can soar into space through the escape zones over the magnetic poles, thus eluding the lethal hazards of the Van Allen belt...
