...dull black cylinder on a mock Spartan anti-ballistic missile waited buried an incredible 6,000 feet beneath tiny Amchitka Island in the Aleutians. The signal was given and in one-tenth of a millionth of a second, Cannikin, code name for the most powerful underground nuclear test ever held by the U.S., exploded with the force of 5 million tons of TNT. TIME Correspondent Karsten Prager reported from the command bunker on Amchitka that half a second after detonation the earth heaved upward, hiding the test site in a curtain of dust and water, and aftershocks rumbled...
Five months ago, a workman on the site accidentally dug into a gas main, touching off an explosion that injured eleven people, none seriously, and caused further delay.

But Navasky, himself a Yale Law School graduate who taught legal research before becoming a journalist, argues that they represented "the code of Ivy League gentlemen." They revered genteel negotiation and the separation of powers even when the situation-as in dealing with Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett-demanded blunter instruments.
