and Biography_, "Nike Defends Washington: Antiaircraft Missiles in
Fairfax County, Virginia, during the Cold War, 1954-1974" (Vol. 105
[Summer 1997]), Christopher J. Bright also wrote an article dealing with
preservation plans in the _Fairfax Chronicles_ ("The Quiver of Zeus:
Nike Anti-aircraft Missiles in Fairfax County" (Vol. 19, no. 1, 1996).
