Re: Forward: Interesting article on nukes

[John Jacobus <crispy_bird@YAHOO.COM>]

I would say that most of the information is true,

however, I cannot vouch for the hyperbole.  I would

suggest you contact the original author.



I guess the author's favorite book was "On the Beach."

 I certainly do not subsribe to the statements you

pointed out, but it is there for all to read.
