Chief of Naval Operations Burke issued orders to Rear Admiral William Francis Raborn Jr., 55, a bluff, barrel-chested navigator who had never seen the sea before he got to Annapolis with the class of 1928. Burke gave Raborn orders to proceed with "all possible haste" to develop a fleet ballistic missile. He was authorized to set up a task force called, simply, Special Projects, which would cut across all the Navy's cherished bureaus.

"If we should lose the resources of the Congo, it would be a serious blow...
...warm' only to look out the window and find it's raining. That's because there is now a six-hour lag between forecasts." To cut weather forecasts to only a 20-minute lag around the nation, Tech Ops has joined with United Aircraft to develop a semi-automatic weather forecasting network for the Air Force, the Federal Aviation Agency and the Weather Bureau at a cost of more than $100 million. Linking a series of computers in major cities, it will digest temperature, pressure and cloud formation data, come up with speedy and accurate forecasts...
