Question

William Leonard Pickard used a former facility for these devices near Wamego (“wah-MEE-goh”) to make most of America’s LSD in the 1990s. These devices were rated at “Mount Olympus” near Roi-Namur, which (-5[1])fishermen occupied in 1982 to demand compensation from Project Nike. The Safeguard program protected a line of these devices (10[1])that debuted at facilities named for Malmstrom and Warren (10[1])and inspired historic sites near Grand Forks and Wall. (10[1])A museum near Tucson (10[1])showcases a line of these devices (10[1])that was canceled due to a Damascus, Arkansas “broken arrow” incident. (10[3])Redstone’s (-5[1])ABMA (10[1])(“A-B-M-A”) developed these devices (10[1])even before the Gaither Report and the Kennedy campaign stoked fears of their namesake (10[1])“gap” compared (10[2])to the Soviet Union. (10[2]-5[1])For 10 (10[1])points, what devices, often with “intercontinental” (10[1])range, (10[1])were stored in Minuteman silos or launched from “cruise” systems? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: missiles [accept cruise missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, ICBMs, anti-ballistic missiles, ABMs, guided weapons, missile silos, V-2, Titan II, Atlas, or Nike Zeus; accept Minuteman until read; prompt on rockets by asking “used in what devices?”; prompt on thermonuclear weapons, nukes, warheads, explosives, payload, ballistic systems, weapons of mass destruction, WMDs, or payload; reject “bombs” or “bombers”]
