ARTHUR WILLIAM CAMMER is a Los Angeles salesman of low-priced garden and patio furniture, whose orders this year are three to four times better than last. The fact only moves Salesman Cammer to complain: "My suppliers have become so panicky over the news of bad business that they can't ship my orders when I need them."

If there is sufficient warning, they gather at patio parties to watch the gushing clouds of steam tinged with pink, the towers ablaze with brilliant greenish-white light, the plumes of clean-burning jet flame. And in the Starlite Motel, which rents 70 of its 87 units to missilemen from Convair, North American Aviation, Bell Telephone Laboratories, A.C. Spark Plug, the practiced observer at after-the-shoot cocktail parties can tell from the demeanor...
