Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The little eastern Oklahoma community of Moffett holds the dubious distinction of being the only city in the nation declared off limits to the armed forces. In fact, Moffett has been off limits for more than 20 years despite frequent reviews by military authorities. The Pentagon isn't sure, but that's probably a record."
