No store stamps. --- --- HOUR OF THE CLOWN --- A vast army of international terrorists was mobilized to zero-in on the United States where fifteen leading figures were targeted for assassination. --- STATE SCARLET --- When a caller tells the White House he has stolen a U.S. nuclear device and will set it off in a major European city, nobody panics. The president sees it as a chance to check the security of the nuclear weapons system; the National Security Advisor sees it as a chance to go one-up in his bureaucratic feuds - it's a useful crank call. . . . .Except that is isn't a crank call. A nuclear device really has been stolen, and it really will go off. And with that knowledge, all hell breaks loose. The hawks blame the Russians. The Russians threaten back. The U.S. goes on military alert. The Russians cancel military leaves. Top agents on both sides comb Europe for the bomb. . .
