...characterizations are handled extremely well--easily identifiable types with enough individuality to be convincing. Cobb perhaps is a little too obvious about his character's psychological condition, especially when he destroys his son's photograph in a moment of aberration, but Begley and Warner are especially good.

His involvement is complicated by his own uncertainty about the boy's innocence. He fights his verbal and psychological battles with great...
...first 1,000 ICBMs and the first three launching bases will be had, it is thought, for about the price of 800 6-47 medium jet bombers.

It covered a 13° field, 26 times the apparent diameter of the full moon, and a complicated driving mechanism swung it across the sky, fast for nearby satellites, slower for satellites farther away. On its plates the stars showed as streaks. A satellite, if one had been found, would have shown...
