...yield a greater SWS total than the K factor for an identical plane carrying bombs, which are viewed as less lethal. The K factor for land-based missiles takes into account the size and number of warheads. Thus the MX missile, with ten warheads, could count as ten SWS's-but the Soviet SS-18, which also has ten warheads, would equal 20.5 SWS's, because it has larger warheads and more throw-weight...

Most of the hour is a tired exhumation of the past-mostly Julie's-but don't expect songs from The Boy Friend, My Fair Lady, Camelot and Mary Poppins to sound as good as new. The dialogue is drab. "You know something, Julie, I've missed you," says Robert Goulet, her co-star in Camelot.

Nine Black Bats. Hank Bauer may have quit the A's-but not Kansas City. It has been his off-season home ever since he arrived in 1947, a young pipe fitter who figured himself "good enough to play Triple A ball, nothing more." The Bauers' neat grey-brick house in suburban Prairie Village is stocked with the usual mementos of Hank's playing career: bronze-dipped spikes and gloves, plaques, pictures, and a rack of nine shiny black World Series bats, one for each of Hank's years as a member of the champion Yankees...
