...even an offensive force must stand ready for defensive action. Once SETAF has discharged its mighty power, it must move out fast, for the enemy can easily pinpoint the launching sites. Using planes and helicopters as well as mobile equipment, the task forces can shift from their firing position with remarkable speed...
...Inertial Guidance system that guided the 1953 flight with nearly pinpoint accuracy weighed a hefty 2,700 Ibs., got the tag "navigation in a closet." To be effective in a missile where each pound of excessive weight exacts a heavy toll in lost speed and distance, the mass of wires, tubes and gyros would have to be slimmed down from closet to pocket size. Advances in accuracy and miniaturization since the first flight are classified, but the M.I.T. scientists, who have been working on Inertial Guidance since 1939, serve as consultants to the Air Force and Navy on such systems...
...proclaimed what he felt insistently-that a full survey of future nuclear warhead design ought to be made so as to shrink the cumbersome new hydrogen bomb into an ICBM. The H-bomb had a higher range of destruction than the Abomb, the argument went, and the need for pinpoint accuracy was therefore reduced...
...recommendations. We are being asked to buy a pig in the poke." Dulles flushed. Pounding on the table with clenched fist, he snapped: "If Congress is not willing to trust the President to the extent he asks, we can't win this battle. If we have to pinpoint for every country, including the Communists, every step we are to take, this resolution will not serve its purpose. The emergency is great and the military situation is one of great danger...
...attack, Dr. Wróblewski points out, there is a rise in several enzymes, including serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGO-T) and lactic dehydrogenase (SLD). Liver diseases cause release into the blood of SGO-T and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGP-T). Careful and repeated measuring of several enzymes can pinpoint disease in a particular organ. Examples: a high level of SGO-T, without elevation in SGP-T, gave an index of President Eisenhower's progress after his heart attack in September 1955. With cirrhosis of the liver there is a marked rise in SGO-T but little...
