Frank Morris van der Linden was a historian, journalist, and member of the White House Press Corps. He graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne College with a B .A. degree in History in 1939. He followed his dream of becoming a journalist. In 1944, his first article appeared in the Washington Post based on his first book, Dark Horse, about President James Polk. Several months later, in March 1945, he moved to Washington, D.C. to cover Congress and the White House. His columns were nationally distributed by the United Feature Syndicate in New York. During his career, he was a frequent panelist on NBC's Meet the Press. Van der Linden interviewed every president, from Harry S. Truman to George H. W. Bush, and he was a regular participant in White House press conferences. He traveled the world covering presidents and vice presidents, including former president Richard Nixon's historic trip to the Soviet Union in 1972. Van der Linden's avocation was American history. His 1962 book, The Turning Point, was a well-received study of Thomas Jefferson's battle for the presidency. After retiring from daily journalism in 1992, he rekindled his interest in the Civil War, publishing numerous articles and books, including Lincoln: The Road to War, in 1998, and The Dark Intrigue: A True Story of a Civil War Conspiracy, in 2007.

Missile defense is a system, weapon, or technology involved in the detection, tracking, interception, and destruction of attacking missiles. Originally conceived as a defence against nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), its application has broadened to include shorter-ranged non-nuclear tactical and theater missiles. The United States, Russia, China, India, Israel, and France have all developed such air defense systems. In the United States, missile defense was originally the responsibility of the U.S. Army. The U.S. Missile Defense Agency has developed maritime systems and command and control that will eventually be transferred to the Navy and Air Force for operation and sustainment. More
