The Cold War intensified the fear of Imminent Global Nuclear Warfare resulting in Total Globular Annihilation. The insitution of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) is no joke to those of us that would like to die peacefully in our sleep, preferably from "old age". With submarine-launched nuclear-tipped ICBM's, a five-minute window from launch to arrival is STILL a serious concern.
