...greatly shocked at TIME'S Oct. 6 handling of the Nevada interchanges. It is regrettable that by context you accuse us of boondoggling in the building of the structures or freeways in reference. We have a beautiful and efficient freeway here that is a sound investment of road users' dollars...
...heaviest percentage growth is in the nation's southwest quadrant. Texas with its petrochemicals, military bases and white-collar industries, California with its missiles and electronics plants, and Florida now account for one out of every six nonfarm jobs. Five Rocky Mountain states (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada) all advanced at more than twice the national average, "not only because of defense installations such as Los Alamos," explains Wolfbein, "but right across the industrial board." Even with this record, the five have a long way to go before becoming highly industrialized: they still have only...
...highway-construction business so irresistible that many localities went overboard. Some cities called in caravans of bulldozers and sent them crashing through the heart of their downtown areas with out regard for future core-city planning. Other localities rushed to put down roads where none were needed.

More Credibility. In terms of cold war politics, the small cloud of sand from Nevada was meant to cast a long shadow. The U.S. hoped that the blast, along with a second underground shot that came the next day, and with the others that were soon to follow, would help reestablish what Pentagonese labels "credibility"-meaning Communist belief that the U.S. has the weapons to fight, and the will to use them if need be. Last week the U.S. and its Western allies further advanced credibility with more taut, determined words on the Berlin crisis...
With the test program on his mind, President Kennedy met with white-haired John McCone, AEC chairman under Dwight Eisenhower, a longtime advocate of testing and the man who foresightedly had ordered the tunnels to be dug into Nevada mountains just in case the ban broke down. Now chairman of a Los Angeles steel corporation, McCone was invited to the White House to speak his mind -and, for an hour and a quarter, he did just that. McCone approved Kennedy's decision to resume testing, urged the President not to declare himself against atmospheric tests, since "outer-space tests...
