...these subterranean redoubts were manned by soldiers from the Royal Observer Corps; on guard today are uniformed mannequins, their lifelessness adding an apocalyptic chill to the air. It's like a musty James Bond film inside. Sixties teletypewriters, radar blips showing "hostile Soviet sorties" and air-raid target maps of the world (all donated by the Ministry of Defence) re-create the atmosphere of the atomic age. The mood shifts from the terrifying to the ridiculous in the onsite cinemas, where plummy BBC voices calmly instruct the nation on how to protect their homes against the big one. Sandbags, they...

Which he did, as usual, with success—the longtime Harvard-killer had nine catches for a whopping 223 yards and two scores...

When the first live fight on Spike this season matched a bunch of contenders from the first series in combat, the show outdrew ESPN's NFL preseason and X Games telecasts in the target demographic of men ages 18 to 49.
