Moreover, the entire concept of protective shelters in urban centers is doubtful as a measure of national security, particularly in ever-shorter warning times and the increasing perfection of chemical and biological warfare. A few isolated shelters might save a certain number of lives--but a crash program for Civil Defense shelters seems most likely to lead only...
