LCOs are the guys who sit in bunkers 60 feet underground awaiting
instructions to fire our ICBMs. Their shenanigans have made the news
recently.

The news reminded me that some 40-45 years ago I heard a former LCO on
a talk show on a Washington DC station. He had written a humorous and
uncomplimentary memoir of his service as an LCO. He called up his old
bunker on the air. I didn't pay a lot of attention. Does anyone
remember the title of the book? I'd like to read it now.

Donald Barthelme wrote a wickedly funny short story for the 'New
Yorker' about an LCO losing his mind. You can find it at

Biblioklept is one of my favorite sites ... disturbing, very often, but favorite.

It is one of those sites which reminds me what the Internet still is capable of, despite its recent rampant (and, generally, ignorant and misguided) commercialization.
