...Nixon will spend virtually an entire day with Prime Minister Harold Wilson, probably with time out for tea with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. One particular area of concern to Wilson is U.S. cooperation in advancing Britain's nuclear technology. The British would like to fit multiple-target nuclear warheads to their Polaris missiles, as the U.S. has already done with some of its intercontinental missiles. Since the U.S. is increasingly sensitive to French charges of favoring Britain with nuclear know-how that it denies to others, the British regard the warhead question as a key indicator...
...David Fitts was factual and low-keyed. It included the detail that Sirhan had chipped in only $6 in the purchase by his brother Munir of the $25 murder weapon. Fitts also noted that the day before the shooting, Sirhan went to the San Gabriel Valley Gun Range for target practice.

It was a prime military and propaganda target for Hitler's surging armies when, in June 1941, the Germans suddenly loosed Operation Barbarossa against their erstwhile Russian allies...
Local objections to ABM's are more short-sighted but nonetheless valid. The base's location in Reading makes the Boston area a prime target for nuclear attack, and creates a finite chance of an on-site accidental explosion. A limited, strictly regulated number of ABM's may well be necessary to deter an accidental missile attack by Russia or China, but they ought to be situated far from a metropolitan area, where their long range would make them just as effective...
