Today I doubt there is a single nuclear physicist of repute who would challenge the neutron bomb from the standpoint of feasibility. It can be built, but nothing can be done to build it until we are free to resume nuclear testing." Dodd hinted that the Russians may soon...

All in all, the U.S. missile effort is something less than it should...
