After the events of October 1963 many saw the business as crucial to survival of the US, so it was a calling of sorts. In those days, our missile was the Titan II/MK 11C (my first job was post-flight analysis). How much bang? Warhead had yield comparable to Mt St Helen eruption. When Nixon started SALT negotiations, the only system the Sovs wanted to talk about was this one.
Otherwise, we were in the business of protecting our friends, a clearer distinction back then.

Baltimore UR&E car 4533, at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum:

Image

The United Railway & Electric Company was the result of the consolidation of all of the electric transit companies operating in Baltimore in 1899. John Mifflin Hood became President of the UR&E after he left the Western Maryland Railway in 1902.

I can recall riding on trolleys with my grandmother back in the 1960's. It always upset me that they had those guards over the windows. How was a kid supposed to hang out the window and get crushed by a passing utility pole with that in the way?
