Some targets of the treaty foes are already being criticized at home. Hatfield's office received a number of menacing phone calls on the order of: "We're going to get you for that if it's the last thing we do." He was hurt further when fellow Montana Senator John Melcher sent constituents a statement that was headed: AMERICAN PEOPLE VETO THE CANAL TREATY. Said a Hatfield aide: "That mailing didn't exactly pour oil on the troubled waters." At a Democratic dinner in Frankfort, Ky., party stalwarts applauded politely for Senator Walter Huddleston...
Still, before any further decision is made on a new home for the Bikinians, the department will conduct its long-promised aerial radiation survey of all the areas in the Marshall Islands where nuclear devices were exploded, in order to determine which of the now peaceful islands are once again fit-truly-for human inhabitants...
There was not time enough to order up special Israeli antiterrorist squads to arrive on the scene before that fatal confrontation-perhaps the most tragic failure of all.

Moore won the Distinguished Service Order as a young navigator for destroyer flotillas at the Battle of Jutland in World War I. But his finest hour came in April 1944, when, as a vice admiral, he directed a crippling aircraft carrier attack on Hitler's last remaining giant battleship, the 45,000-ton Tirpitz, as it lay in a Norwegian fjord...
