...With increased missile funds in sight, the Navy promised a step-up in the target date-now 1962-on its Polaris, a solid-fuel, 1,500-mile IRBM that can be fired from a submarine...
...submarines. Operating out of 270-odd air bases in a score of countries, this thermonuclear strike force is poised all day, every day, to deliver a 360° assault (see map) against the 37,500-mile borders of the Soviet Union, each single aircraft capable of unloading on target the mighty equivalent of all the bombs dropped by all nations during World War II. Unlike the Kremlin's-headline-making experimental missiles, the U.S. thermonuclear strike force is lethal in the fighting man's sense of what is operational and what...
...delta-wing B58 bombers for phasing in beside the medium B-473. Already SAC has its first operational intercontinental guided missile: Snark, a lumbering air-breather that cannot break the sound barrier but can dump a thermonuclear payload (as it proved in a flight test last week) on a target less than five miles in diameter at a range of 5,000 miles. A really hot Air Force prospect is Rascal, an air-to-ground missile for firing from B-47s that can hit a target at supersonic speed and 100-mile range. One of Tommy White's biggest...

Also, the Air Force is working beyond ballistic missiles to develop glide missiles-weapons that follow a ballistic trajectory through space, break back into the atmosphere under control, dodge antimissile missiles and put an H-bomb on the target. Then, perhaps, there will be the fantastic reality of manned missiles...
