It shows the week's combat zone, and the zone that U.S. troops would have to fall back to in order to hold off the enemy. The perimeter of this "Comeback Zone," as it turned out, was almost exactly the same as the line of the beachhead subsequently held by U.S. & U.N. troops. The beachhead covered the maximum area which three or four well-armed U.S. divisions plus regrouped South Korean troops could hold...

Washington realtors advertised houses and lots "beyond the radiation zone." Worried people in Atlanta inquired about insurance policies against atomic-bomb damage...
Within a second zone, ¼ mile wide, the destruction would be only a little less complete. In that area would be Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Hell's Kitchen, the Metropolitan Opera House; the Holland and Queens vehicular tunnels, the Williamsburg Bridge, the Pennsylvania and Grand Central stations. Many more buildings would be wrecked by the explosion, and gutted by fire...
