And President Johnson again postponed a decision on whether to produce an anti-ballistic missile system, the much discussed Nike-X, which employs the high-speed Sprint missile and is designed to intercept even a saturation volley of incoming ICBMs. Engineering has progressed to the point where a final test series on the system is planned for this summer, after which the decision probably will hinge on whether Johnson feels Nike-X would be worth its cost, estimated at $20 billion...

Following orders, the mar-rines squeezed off two warning shots over the heads of the Cubans. No one was hit, says Washington, but an ambulance and a photographer immediately appeared on the Cuban side-and Castro was soon shouting murder. To judge...
