From: "Clifford Johnson" <GA.CJJ@Forsythe.Stanford.EDU> This week, the media thought it was news that the USSR put its strategic nuclear forces on 10-minute alert during the 1968 Czekoslovakia business. It is ironic that this is deemed a newsworthy case of extreme previous tensions and risk, when it is virtually ignored in the media that strategic nuclear missile crews are now on perpetual 3-minute launch alert.
