...stationed at big bases like Churchill, Manitoba (tentatively, Canada would have 500 men there, the U.S. 100), at forlorn little landing strips like "Crystal 1," at Fort Chimo in northeastern Quebec, and "Crystal 2," on Baffin Island's Frobisher Bay. Soldiers of both nations would also staff a ring of weather stations and radar listening posts all across the continent's bleak Arctic vastness and down the east and west coasts to the U.S. The suggestions sounded simple.

Samples: ¶ A wooden penguin which continually dunks its beak into a glass of water. (The secret: a reaction between the water and chemicals inside the bird.) ¶ The Skweez-Me Boxers, a couple of gangling woodenheads who fight and flop in their little wooden ring through manipulation of the base. ¶ A dart game in which plastic bombs are dropped when trigger releases in model planes...
