		<description><![CDATA[Duress code.  Yes, it&#8217;s a real term and it means &#8220;panic code,&#8221; or a code that you give instead of your &#8220;real&#8221; code to indicate that you&#8217;re in trouble.  Or under duress.  I had never heard of it until reading The Nike Historical Society&#8217;s excellent section about security at Nike installations. One reader wrote in with an anecdote about duress codes: I was escorting a Major around the [Nike Missile] Launching Area during &#8212; I think it was a NAICP test. When we approached the Exclusion Area guard shack he asked me to give the guard the duress code. I said I can categorically vouch that everyone knows the duress code and will take appropriate action. He said I want you to give the code. I reluctantly complied. The guard without hesitation through the Major to the ground and cocked his weapon and put it directly on his temple. I had to physically pull him off and explain it was only a test and that there was no threat. It took some convincing but the guard backed off. I don&#8217;t think the Major ever did that again. Here is a video some guy shot at the restored Nike Missile installation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Titan II Missile Underground Launch Complex (Large Image) is classic Cold War-era cutaway stuff.  At the Titan Missile Museum in Arizona, you can tour the entire facility.  As their brochure states: The Titan II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) was the first liquid propellant missile that could be launched from underground. Equipped with a nine-megaton thermonuclear warhead, the Titan II was capable of reaching its target—more than half a world away—in less than thirty minutes. The preserved Titan II missile site, officially known as complex 571-7, was completed and turned over to the U.S. Air Force in 1963. Until 1987, when the last Titan II was deactivated, 54 Titan II missile complexes across the United States stood “on alert” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A cutaway from Fortune Magazine (1960) is a bit more artful and fanciful, and looks more like the cover of a sci-fi paperback than a true cutaway:]]></description>
