Commander In Chief

As Commander in Chief of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Not only in charge of air defense of the United States and Canada, Kuter also oversaw the development and building of the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center. Cheyenne Mountain would become synonymous with NORAD, and the United States Air Force. In his capacity as CINC NORAD, Kuter briefed President Kennedy and Vice President Johnson on the importance of continental defense during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He advocated extending the missile warning system to cover approaches by missiles from any direction. In this final position Kuter had not attained the zenith of his air force career, but oversaw a global operation that was unimaginable when he graduated from West Point. As Kuter had matured, so had the United States Air Force.

We have reviewed the geochronology of rocks having paleopoles in the interval 800–1500 Ma from North America, Greenland, and the Baltic Shield. The present uncertainties in the acquisition times of the remanent magnitizations allow the construction of a simplified apparent polar wander curve for North America that incorporates Sveconorwegian paleopoles in a Grenville Loop, and that places poles from the El Paso, Stoer Group, and Aillik Bay rocks on the Logan Loop. Furthermore, the sense of motion through poles older than ~ 1.3 Ga is reversed to permit the shortest connection to poles older than 1.6 Ga. As well, the timing and shape of the Hadrynian Track are modified so that it begins in the Atlantic hemisphere at ~ 800 Ma and terminates in the Pacific at ~ 650 Ma, representing a minimum average continental drift rate of ~ 10 cm/year for this interval.
