...well-aimed spit of lava. "You've got to be a misanthrope in this business," says Mauldin. "A real son of a bitch. I'm touchy. I've got raw nerve ends, and I'll jump. If I see a stuffed shirt, I want to punch it." Mauldin's professional credo: "If it's big, hit it. You can't go far wrong...
...weapons and techniques for fighting limited wars. To give its 14 divisions more mobility and firepower, the Army will get large quantities of armored personnel carriers, 51-ton M-60 tanks, self-propelled artillery and a new super-jeep. The Army will have an increased tactical atomic punch, with assault missiles ranging from the 500-mile, solid-fuel Pershing down to the Davy Crockett, which can be carried by two G.I.s. The Marine Corps will increase in size from 175,000 to 190,000 men, get two new battalions, two new helicopter squadrons, and more A4D attack bombers...
...continue purchase of the bombers and to step up study of the highly controversial 2,000-m.p.h. B-70, which is now in mock-up form. In addition, the bill speeds up development of the 1,000-mile, nuclear-tipped Sky-bolt missile, which will increase the punch and range of the B-52. The bill will also keep nearly 200 of the Air Force's 1,500 bombers in the air at all times, armed and ready to attack, while half of the remaining planes are on ground alert (15 minutes to take...
...years the accident of 20 miles of Channel water has given Britain a proud aloofness from the European Continent. As recently as last month, Punch could lampoon a "European" as "one who believes Britain to be part of Europe." But last week, with diffident step, Britain was moving toward what Prime Minister Macmillan has frankly admitted "will be one of the gravest decisions Britain has ever taken." The question: to join, or not to join, the six nations of the Continent's flourishing Common Market (France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg) in economic-and perhaps, ultimately, political...
...built to work with out a fission detonator, theorists believe that it would send its neutrons farther than the destructive reach of its heat or blast. Starting with 14 MEV (million electron volts) of energy, the neutrons would traverse about a half-mile of air and still have enough punch to kill humans protected by several feet of earth or concrete. There would be blast and heat too, but if the N-bomb was just the right size and was exploded at just the right height above the ground, it would kill by neutrons without setting fires or blowing buildings...
