\"With the United States increasingly the target ofterroristsoverseas, theinevitableprotective steps were taken at home. This Thanksgiving Week hoto shows the interim method of barricading; heavy trucks and equipment blocking off streets at the White House, State Department, Capitol Building and the Pentagon. Soon 3 foot high cement barriers were erected around the White House. The US anti-terroristplanners take sensible precautions without turning Government buildings into fortresses; for, as they fully realize, no such defensive measures will stop a determined terrorist bent on self destruction. December 1983.\"
