Striking the ICBM, X rays instantaneously ionize a thin layer of its outer casing, causing the formation of a sheath of hot gas, or plasma. But only a small portion of X-ray energy is used to form the plasma sheath. Most of the remainder is converted into a shock wave that races through the missile.

Parts of Nebraska and Kansas in the Mountain Time zone will keep Central Daylight while their requests for revised boundaries are pending; similarly, parts of North Dakota and El Paso in the Central zone are observing Mountain Daylight. Michigan, which passed exempting...
That is roughly how a Barbara Garson of the 1930s might have written the Macbird! of that era. As Robert Bendiner's book suggests, the virulent abuse poured on the Roosevelts by a small but vocal portion of the public matches the feelings of today's left toward Lyndon Johnson...
