Vital Difference. Basically, FOBS can pack the punch of some ICBMs-with a vital difference. Shot into a low orbit of 100 miles, the FOBS rocket slows and ejects its nuclear bomb before completing its route around the globe. This combination would prevent anti-ballistic missile radar (BMEWS), presently the U.S.'s main screen against surprise attack, from ascertaining the point of impact until the rocket "deboosts"-about three minutes and 500 miles from target.

...been suspended. The future of 200,000 civil servants will be determined on an indivdual basis by special committees. Heavy emphasis will be placed on a questionnaire that all civil servants have had to fill out. This questionnaire is so incredible, that the government made special efforts to prevent its publication. It is marked "Top Secret," and a single copy was issued to each employee, to be filled out on the spot. When I saw a copy in the United States, I could understand the fear and uncertainty of all my friends: it is virtually impossible to get a "perfect...
