Devastating Deterrent. In those two 15-minute flights, Polaris gave firm promise that the U.S. is ready to move into a new age of security and deterrence with a revolutionary weapons system. The nuclear subs that are its launching platforms can roam the world's oceans at will, difficult to detect and destroy, ready to deliver their lethal birds on targets 1,200 miles away with an accuracy within a mile. One sub alone packs 16 missiles, and each shipload of missiles packs the explosive punch of all the bombs expended by both sides in World War II (including...
...India is still the land where 200 million sacred cows roam the fields and towns unmolested while families go without meat for weeks at a time. New Delhi's planners now forecast the 1966 population at 480 million-an increase of 65 million over the present total, or the equivalent of the population of Brazil. To help India feed this huge population during the next five years, the U.S. has agreed to lend $1.3 billion to pay for 17 million tons of U.S. surplus wheat and rice (TIME, May 16).

The sound on this teary disk suggests nothing so much as four spooks whispering in a sarcophagus...

The son of a blacksmith of Irish descent, he was born in Ohio, lived in Iowa, Michigan and Pennsylvania before he was 16, and wandered West from New Jersey. As he himself admitted, he was always "too quick to take a notion and too quick to get charmed up" about somewhere else...
Triton is the first nuclear submarine designed for the submarine's classic role of scouting. Her job is to roam out on the surface hundreds of miles ahead of naval task forces, scanning the skies with powerful radar. She carries the biggest crew (about 150), and, powered by twin reactors, can dive faster and cruise farther than any of her nuclear sisters...
