On the basis of the five-kiloton report, the U.S. settled down with the Russians at Geneva to try to negotiate a stop-tests agreement with an inspection and detection system-but fully aware that the chances of detection were slim below the five-kiloton underground threshold...

The heads of the nine service divisions (e.g., accounting, management consultation, marketing) report directly to Cordiner, bear the chief burden of long-range planning and research. To Paxton, himself an old operating man, report such operating-group executives as Arthur F. Vinson. 51, head of G.E.'s important heavy industrial goods section, James H. Goss, 51, head of consumer products, and Cramer V. LaPierre, 54, boss of defense and atomics...
