![]() That year, President Kennedy came to see a way out of the looming arms race. The commission reported that experimental devices would be ready for explosive testing by the end of 1963. McNamara, was informed that the Atomic Energy Commission was ready to build the American equivalent of a Tsar Bomba. Wellerstein states, the defense secretary, Robert S. Wellerstein quotes a scientist at the Sandia weapons lab - one of the nation’s three design centers for nuclear arms - as declaring that the American military wanted superbombs “even though no known targets justify such weapons.” The detonation of Tsar Bomba in October 1961 gave the issue new urgency. Wellerstein reports that the new president was told that a 100-megaton weapon would be six feet wide and 12 feet long - easy for a large bomber to carry and drop. A once-secret Air Force history said enthusiasm for the giant weapon cooled as the study found that “lethal radioactivity might not be contained within the confines of an enemy state.”īy January 1961, when Kennedy took office, plans for a lesser superbomb had grown more detailed. In 1958, the Air Force chief of staff called for a study of weapons up to 1,000 megatons, Dr. The lobbying intensified as the military added its voice. He added that disclosure of Kennedy’s calculated nonresponse to the pushy clamor showed his “deep revulsion for nuclear weapons.” ![]() Cohen’s book lays out the president’s 1963 pivot to diplomacy that helped make the groundbreaking arms treaty possible. Wellerstein reveals “an untold story that’s terrifying, sobering and illuminating.” Mr. Kennedy and the 48 Hours That Made History,” said in an interview that Dr. But he decided not to go in the bomb direction.”Īndrew Cohen, author of “Two Days in June: John F. “It’s clear that Kennedy was on the fence. “It went all the way to the top,” Alex Wellerstein, a nuclear historian at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J., and the study’s author, said in an interview. He chose not only to ignore the military’s appeals for deadlier arms, but to sponsor and sign an East-West treaty that precluded more superweapons. The report shows that the secret debate over what to do about the unprecedented Soviet blast was ended by President John F. A new study, based on recently declassified documents, offers insights into how an earlier president resolved a comparable dilemma. As the device shattered all records, it sent shock waves through the American defense establishment: How should the United States respond? Did the nation need bigger, more destructive arms? Was it wise to do nothing? What was the best way to protect the nation from the deadly stirrings of a belligerent foe?Īmerican policymakers now face similar questions as bold rivals pursue novel delivery systems for their nuclear arms. Sixty years ago on Saturday, the Soviet Union detonated the world’s most powerful nuclear weapon, with a force 3,333 times that of the bomb used on Hiroshima.

![]() That's a very showy and unexpected string of letters. I kinda like VPPICK (60D: Major political announcement before a convention, informally). There's very little to entertain you along the way, unless you are entertained by ACIDHEAD, in which case, what is wrong with you? Who says that? What year is it? After you admire the puzzle's look and grasp the theme, it's just a boring walk to the end. Also, HASAGO and MAKEASTOP feel like a theme idea running on fumes, and the last thing this puzzle needed was two more _ A _ answers when it already had two "EAT A SANDWICH" representatives in play with LOSE A GAME and HIRE A DJ, LOL, that second one is so bad it's almost good. But the fact that the yellow was both words (STOP and GO), or either word, I guess, oof, that was awkward. " I'LL STOP NOW" & " I'LL GO NOW"!? It is true that you can choose to stop when you see yellow or you can choose to go when you see yellow but you can choose to do a lot of things and none of this has anything to do with what the color formally means, which is "proceed with caution." Admittedly, that is a phrase that would be hard to rebus. Do you really expect me to believe, and to have understood, as I was solving, that the yellow light there meant STOP *or* GO. Couldn't even really make sense of the way the clue was worded, with that strange bracketed in the middle of it. SLOW? WAIT? CAUTION? Like, I had no ideas. ![]() So if green means GO and red means STOP, yellow means. Actually, there was one "gift," and it was the most baffling and inexcusable part of the theme: the Down clue running through the yellow light. The gimmick was a cinch to uncover, and once you know it, it has no gifts left to give. The rest was easy, humorless, surpriseless, and too often awkward, clunky, or downright ugly. Beyond that, this puzzle had nothing to offer except one very creative answer ( VODKA RED BULL). Everything good about this puzzle is in its look-really impressive to get those black square formations looking exactly like traffic lights, and maintaining symmetry with the light placement was a nice added touch. I'm like Charlie Brown and the football with Sundays. I should've known Sunday would let me down, again. I was just thinking "three very good puzzles in a row, that's an extraordinary and anomalous run, I wonder how long the puzzle can keep it up?" So I jinxed it, I guess, because the streak stops hard at three. Sam Wilson as Falcon and Captain America has made several media appearances, including in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where the character is portrayed by Anthony Mackie in the films Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Ant-Man (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019) and the television miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021).

And who didn’t spend days upon days inside Ocarina of Time’s Water Temple in search of the upgraded Longshot? Well…I didn’t. Took me some time to figure out that the hookshot could also be used as a weapon. I will always love you, hookshot, and I will burn the first entry of this series that excludes you.Ĭary: Ahh, the highly useful not-quite-a-grapple-beam grappling device of the Zelda games. I keep coming back to it, but in my Zelda movie, the hookshot provides the capability for the most compelling action scenes and set pieces, which speaks to my heart. I fell in love with it when I first used it in Link’s Awakening, and that love has only deepened over the years. So why did I vote the hookshot over the double clawshot? Mainly for how iconic the old arrowhead ended chain is. Plus, and this is true especially in the 3D games, it opens up an entirely new dimension of movement and exploration. It’s the versatility I love, with the functionality that is fun and practical. While there are tons of items in this series that are generic Jerry (sword, bow, shield), the hookshot is something new entirely, and is useful for both transportation, reaching places otherwise inaccessible, combat, puzzle solving, and item procurement. Shaun: Oh yeah Joseph? Well I WOULD put it number 2 overall! And in fact, I did!…I think. I like the hookshot (and its upgrade, the clawshot) and consider it the superior mode of transportation around the Zelda games, but I wouldn’t put it number 2 overall, no matter how invincible it makes me. Apparently our panel agrees - only one person didn’t vote for it. Still, even as a precursor, I think it deserves its spot on our list. I’m surprised that the hookshot hasn’t been used more throughout the series, although you could argue that the clawshots or the grappling hook are within the same vein. Remember the first time you discovered that Link could use it to recover by grabbing onto a ledge in Super Smash Bros.? Hell, even when the hookshot has made appearances in non-canon stuff, it’s still awesome. It’s also the main ingredient in my favorite boss fight in Wind Waker, taking on Molgera with that fantastic background music. All I know is that being able to latch onto rooftops and posts to shoot across gaps never got old. Using it in Ocarina of Time made you feel super cool - whether it was because of the dynamic camera angles or the longshot’s increased range, I couldn’t say. After being introduced in Link to the Past, the hookshot really started to stand out in the 3D games. Why the f*** does the hookshot say BOING? I have no idea. We’ll be counting down one by one until we reach the #1 pick on Jan. Whether they were weapons or shields or utility items, these are the panel’s selections for the coolest or most useful inventory slots in the series. No more games, no more pretense - this is our list of the top 25 Zelda items of all-time. As with Whitter, he’s sparsely in the movie, yet the dialogue provides a concrete relationship, thus making him appear as though he’s been in the flick from the onset. Likewise, in the third act Caulfield’s editor ( David Doyle) confronts his journalist. Additionally, the screenplay, penned by Hyams, establishes his character extremely well. Caulfield dons a Woodward and Bernstein importance in his quest for the truth. In part, this is because Whitter serves as the catalyst for Caulfield’s investigative reporting. Nevertheless, his importance comes across as much larger. Whitter, who first reports discrepancies in the crew’s television transmissions, isn’t prominently featured in the film. Yet even the most inconsequential of characters feels important. There’s ample action, and a smattering of characters. With a run-time of just over two hours, “Capricorn One” marvelously paces its plot. When Whitter disappears seemingly without a trace, Caulfield embarks on a mission to uncover the truth about Capricorn One, and his friend’s vanishing. However, Whitter shares his disbelief with friend and journalist Robert Caulfield ( Elliott Gould). NASA technician Elliot Whitter ( Robert Walden) reports anomalous data readings which Kelloway dismisses as a malfunctioning workstation. Unfortunately, the faux landing doesn’t quite proceed as Kelloway planned. Reluctantly, and with their families threatened, Brubaker, Walker, and Willis agree. Sacrifice the mission and falsify its results to save the space program, he argues. Rather than scrap the voyage, Kelloway insists the three astronauts fake a Mars landing. James Kelloway ( Hal Holbrook) arrives and explains in a Shakespearean-caliber soliloquy, that a critical error in Capricorn One’s life-support system would have killed the astronauts in-flight leaving the mission a failure. Meanwhile, Capricorn One launches as planned sans its flight crew, leaving the general public blissfully unaware. Simpson) are whisked off to a remote, abandoned desert base. Moments before liftoff, the trio of astronauts Colonel Charles Brubaker ( James Brolin), Lieutenant Colonel Peter Willis ( Sam Waterson), and Commander John Walker ( O.J.

Support for drag-and-drop operations and batch processing makes for a very intuitive handling However, this software performs the volume level processing based on internal, pre-defined settings and users will have to trust those settings.

The Levelator, as its name suggests, will allow users to process their audio files and basically normalize the output signal volume, for best results. This often results in output audio signal that carries an inherently variable volume level, which for real-world applications isn’t ideal. Audio recordings can be a real bummer, especially when the input signal volume varies due to external noise-pollution and other factors which might interfere. ![]() Broken Age skirts that fate with really well-balanced and smart puzzles that are never so obtuse as to require a hint system - which is good, since there isn't one to speak of - but challenging enough that I took my fair share of breaks to stare at the ceiling and pray for more intelligence than genetics and public schools provided me.īroken Age was funded by diehard fans of LucasArts classics like Day of the Tentacle and more recent contenders like Ben There, Dan That, and those fans will be delighted to hear that Broken Age is a worthy successor.
