In a message dated 98-01-12 03:03:20 EST, you write: << Indeed...the only mention Holden makes of anything political (that I've ever noticed) is his brief bit about the Bomb. He says he's glad it was invented, and if they ever want to use it again, he'll volunteer to sit right on top of it. >> I never thought of it before, but could this passage have inspired the scene in Dr. Strangeglove?
