Hi Maury Markowitz. Thank you for your work on Bed of nails defense. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for bringing another interesting article to Wikipedia. The referencing is rather Garvin-heavy, but given that it was his idea, and that he had little support, I suppose that's not surprising. Good luck with the DYK proposal!

Klbrain (talk) 14:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

There is a fascinating quote in the reference you added...
"Since our own silo-killing force was to be housed in those very Minuteman silos which were assumed to be effec- tively destroyable by the Soviet Union, it was not clear how conversion of Minute- man to a force of silo killers would in itself counter that danger to the Minuteman force, except by the threat of preemptive attack. Indeed, were a force of Soviet silo killers really to materialize, it is likely that the Defense Department would request funds and approval to develop and deploy mobile ICBMs."
Basically, he posits that adding counterforce to Minuteman would actually be counter to the goal of giving the US flexibility, because it would demand the Soviets do the same thing with their missiles and thus increase the risks of a first-strike by either side. The calculus of nuclear war during that era is absolutely fascinating. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, the FS stuff seems to be scattered between Sowa's site, Smotherman's site, and Bitsavers. There may be other bits elsewhere, or in boxes in the homes of retired IBMers or former IBMers (who need to be told about Bitsavers, so they can send it off to be scanned).

Hi, in the article PDP-10 you use several instances of an sfn reference to "Programming 1970", starting with this edit. Unfortunately there is no such work listed, so nobody can look the references up, and the article is added to Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.
