And let us not forget the civilian Pentagon advisor played by Walter Matthau
in "Fail Safe," the dramatic cousin to "Strangelove." Recall the dinner
party scene where, in a pre-dawn debate, Matthau's character is going on
about how strategic nuclear war _ saves _  lives. This leads to the climatic
showdown in the Pentagon itself, between Matthau and an Air Force officer,
as US jets are about to hit the SU with their payloads. Worth watching at
the moment. Make the above mentioned films a home video (or DVD) double
bill. The Real Thing will happen soon enough.
