Moving gingerly to discourage the assemblage of a huge crowd without provoking violence, state police had announced that the 300 acres of green woodland was sealed off to all visitors, yet they made no attempt to prevent the thousands of invaders from reaching the site on foot. The authorities impeded the delivery of food and curtailed sanitary services, but made no move to evict the celebrators.

...Soviet Union can effectively check on the number of the other's ICBMs with spy-in-the-sky satellites, these satellites cannot see through a missile's nose cone to count the number of warheads underneath. In view of the Soviets' aversion to on-site inspections, MIRV would become an unknown and threatening element in the nuclear equation...
