Dragon’s Teeth, Slightly Carious
The post-Sputnik wake has been, in a number of ways, puzzling. Consider, for one thing, the sudden transformation of the whole front rank of Liberal publicists into red-hot warriors, snorting fire and brimstone. With what haughty scorn they damn the timid Dulles, Wilson, Eisenhower and Joint Chiefs, all and sundry, for not having spent umpteen trillion dollars to build enough warheaded missiles to blow the entire solar system to fragments! How clarion is their call for an emergency, all-out, crash-bang program to beat the Communists in every type of military hardware from space platforms to brass buttons!
