Nedelin, 57, was virtually unknown in the West-except to other general staffs-until a month ago, when Khrushchev, in an offhand remark at the Czech embassy, revealed that the marshal had been given command of Russia's brand new rocket force. A member of a favored branch (Stalin once called artillery "the God of war"), Nedelin became adept in World War II at Stalin's vaunted "artillery offensives," massing 300 pieces or more for each kilometer of front.

One architect who comes close to filling the role is Philadelphia's Louis I.
