From Moscow, Leonid I. Brezhnev said the Soviets had tested their own neutron bomb. A neutron bomb is designed primarily as a battlefield weapon to use massive bursts of radiation to kill people, rather than explosive force, to minimize damage to structures. Brezhnev gave a 50-minute monologue at the Kremlin to a visting group of U.S. seanators, including astronaut senator John Glenn. Brezhnev stated that "Many years ago our tester [Korlokov] ... tested that bomb. We tested, but we never started production of that weapon." He added, "We do not want to unlease a nuclear war because we are not crazy." He agreed with President Carter that tension had lessened between the two superpowers. The Associated Press reported the quotes based on a shorthand transcript made by a senate aide.
NUCLEAR BOMB
November 17, 1976 - Western China
China detonated its most powerful nuclear device in an atmospheric test. An H-6 bomber dropped it over Lop Nur desert test site in the remote Xinjiang province of Western China. It was their 21st test, equivalent to 4 megatons of TNT, reportedly 320 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb. A weak radiation cloud drifted high above the U.S. north-west Pacific coast three days later. The monster blast was to demonstrate military strength to both America and Russia. It remains their most powerful to date (2011). A photo released Jul 1977 showed many observers, mostly soldiers, watching the distant blast. A sign in front of them read "Welcome with cheers the inauguration of Hua Kuo-feng as leader of the Party and Liberation Army," who took over from Mao Tse-tung in Oct 1976.

A Change is Gonna Come
by Meredith Grey
"...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."
