|The Nuclear Threat
Written by Drusilla on March 25th, 2011
Just before the Cold War thawed, it got very cold indeed. An article appeared in the paper about what parts of southern California were likely targets for a nuclear attack. The accompanying map showed an intersection less than five miles from our house. After that, I could not stop thinking about my sons dying in a nuclear attack and finally, to deal with my obsession, I became involved with a group planning to protest the production of Cruise Missiles in a General Dynamics plant. This was also not far from our home.

I plan to read The New Yorker for the rest of my life. I like the cartoons, the book reviews and the profiles and the humor and the poetry, blah-blah-blah, and I’ve always had a lot of faith in the magazine’s movie reviews, always until last week when it totally failed me and I almost skipped “The Adjustment Bureau.”
