casualties from today's nuclear explosion in salt lake city are said to be surprisingly light. conflicting reports suggest that moscouw detonated the device at 15.000 and 30.000 feet above the city, causing the collapse of some roofs. president reagan has reportedly left washington for an unknown destination and rumours in government speak of american retaliation.

despite national guard presence on most states, there has been widespread panic and looting in many major american cities, following the soviet nuclear attack on salt lake city.

the soviet government has officially admitted responibility for today's nuclear explosion in salt lake city, utah. they claim it was caused by computer failure in the satellite warning system, which indicated a massive nuclear attack on the siviet union.
according to the soviet news agency tass, the error was discovered only after prmier brezhnev had launched a retalitory launch. despite moscouw's hot-line warning to washington, it proved impossible for the americans to intercept and destroy the ss16 missile.
