Atomic Energy Commission scientists last week were "keyed up and ready" to take the U.S. into a new high level of nuclear testing. First shot on the agenda: a giant skyrocket exploding not more than 60 miles above Johnston Island, its sub-megaton flash visible in Hawaii 700 miles away, its power sending waves of electrical disturbance around the earth to be picked up by sensitive instruments...

...broke water. Inside the boat an aviation warrant officer gazed through the eyepiece. Through prismed glass, he saw a sandy coastline, a haze-covered mountain range and, dead ahead, the unmistakable shape of Oregon's Cape Blanco lighthouse. The time was dawn on Sept. 9, 1942, and the sub was the 1,950-ton Japanese 1-25, on station 25 days after leaving Yokosuka...
