American military men want the U.S. to counter by installing a vast anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system of its own. The Administration hopes to avoid this and is attempting to persuade the Russians to enter an agreement under which neither the U.S. nor the Soviets would deploy ABMs; to that end, U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson is now holding talks with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin.

A neutron-blocking layer of paraffin or liquid hydrogen can prevent the uranium trigger from fissioning prematurely. Installation of more rugged electrical components and addition of bypass circuits reduce the possibility of damage from the surge of current caused by an electromagnetic pulse...

Any college coach with a late lead to protect will order his boys to keep the ball away from the other team by holding it, passing it back and forth, refusing to shoot for the basket. Now a new fad is sweeping the courts: the game-long stall. Within a week, three of the nation's top teams have been bedeviled by opponents who set out to win by just standing there...
