Two literary quotes on the current global crisis:Slave, I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die:
I think there be six Richmonds in the field:
Five have I slain to-day instead of him.
-- A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
-Richard III - Act V, Scene 4
Joshua: Shall we play a game?There. Not don't you feel better?
David Lightman: Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War?
Joshua: Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?
David Lightman: Later. Right now lets play Global Thermonuclear War.
Joshua: Fine.

Your Say
My dad worked for 27 years in nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons testing for "A Major Department of Energy Laboratory". He saw live open-air tests back in the good 'ol days....
Wargames was one of his favorite movies.
He used to watch that one a lot with me, when I was a kid. He usta say that movie really 'gets it'. He told me that movie was the closest portrayal to the world he works in. I didn't know, it was classified, he couldn't tell me....
Now he's gone and I work in the building next to where his building used to stand. I like "Terminator". I think that movie really 'gets it'. I'll tell my son that's the closest portrayal to the stuff I work on. It's classified, I can't tell him....
