...Poseidon version can carry up to twelve warheads and has a 2,900-mile range. The Poseidon MIRVs are thus of the "low kiloton" type, designed to be used against cities, while the Minuteman Ill's might be used to hit the adversary's iCBMs in hardened silos. The Navy has begun to refit two of its Polaris submarines to handle Poseidons. According to present plans, 496 of the 656 missiles now aboard submarines will carry MIRVs...
...religious acrimony and long-faced industry alive and to form a kind of museum for the Protestant ethic. The Scots seldom assimilate anywhere without a struggle, and Belfast is a lot closer to Glasgow than it is to Dublin, especially on a Sunday. It may help to fix the type if you realize that Woodrow Wilson and Field Marshal Montgomery were both descendants of Ulster.

...South, settlers were more likely to be Church of Englanders, casual, snotty, talented. Out of them was spun the raffish-gentleman type: Congreve, Sheridan, Wilde.

Interviewer: I have three. Jackie: I know your type. You have French records on while you're feeding the baby and someone else telling you about the opera. But I'm glad you have three children because now at least I know you've done something...
...might feel in trying to discuss his father. Perhaps this, and the fact that it is set in the 1930s, is what makes Mr. Bridge more than an objective caricature of the uptight WASP personality so often under attack today. What emerges is a muted image of an American type as pure, enduring and applicable as George F. Babbitt ever was. Mr. Bridge's unwitting and rather dated dilemma, Connell suggests, is capable of pointing a lesson for today. The old, defensive virtues-the living of life rationally, correctly and righteously-are no longer enough to know the world...
