The climate of the Cuban missile crisis was much more intense since most people knew of military units called to action. I remember walking around the block on a warm early evening and hearing the news from a few TV's but there were many people watching Mr. Ed as well.

I had a dream of WWIII that is still crystal clear in my mind. The four minute warning consisted of people looking out their front door and blaming each other until everything went white.

But catch your breath, we are not there.
