When the target missile was destroyed, sending a brilliant white, mushroom-like cloud into the dark sky, the crowd began to applaud and cheer wildly.This is the kind of thing the national and international press mentions only when it's failed.
" We smashed it," several people cheered as the rainbow colored contrail gave way to the cotton ball cloud of destruction above.»
As a result of this selective reporting, even they don't know off hand how
far along anti-missile defense is, as long as Dr. No knows. Hey, at least he has exquisite comic timing while he's teaching his adoring followers some Donner Family values.
