The B-58 went the way of the B-70 for essentially the same reason, ICBM's.
By the time the plane reached its target, the war would have been over and
done with for an hour!  The B-58 had an interesting bombing approach.
It would fly over its target, pull up into a vertical climb, release its
single bomb (carried externally) and get the hell out.

The cockpit arrangement of the B-58 in the movie "Fail Safe" shows side by
side seating when in fact the three man crew of the B-58 sat tandem and
could not see each other.
