With the reinforcements has come modern equipment-new rapid-fire M14 rifles and a field patrol device which detects raiders by radar. And there is increasing support near by-an on-call Marine battalion in Puerto Rico, a U.S. fleet now stationed regularly off Guantánamo Bay, and the carrier-based, swept-wing F4H Phantom II jet fighters whose sonic booms are clearly audible in Castroland...
...Radar. On the morning of the Idlewild crash, former Pilot George A. Van Epps, the bureau's northeastern chief, with headquarters at Idlewild, got a phone call from the tower: "This is an alert...
...nuclear attack in its "hardened," underground silo. Other tests will seek to determine how well the hulls of submarines-including the subs that carry the Polaris missile-will stand up to nuclear attack. Nuclear weapons will be detonated at high altitudes to check the effect on ground communications and radar. In previous tests, ionization caused by nuclear explosions wreaked havoc with electronics gear, raised the possibility that an enemy might try to knock out the electronic network of U.S. defenses by exploding warheads at high altitudes...

Most whistlers heard in the Antarctic are believed to originate in lightning flashes in the northern hemisphere. The radio waves apparently climb thousands of miles into the fringes of the ionosphere, guided by the earth's magnetic field; then they curve down again to hit a "coordinate point" in the southern hemisphere...
