...world's first cloud billowed over Alamagordo 23 years ago this month, every U.S. President has hoped to cap his Administration with an agreement designed to avert nuclear Armageddon. Truman described it as "the one purpose that dominated me." Eisenhower called his failure to make any progress in the disarmament field "one of my major regrets." Kennedy's efforts to "get the genie back in the bottle" had some success in 1963's limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and he considered it one of his greatest achievements.

...that I want to be stuffy or anything, but all this just isn't good. Grown-ups shouldn't want the bad guys to win. They can erase the black-and-white division between good and evil, or make it tougher for the good guys, or even cloud everything in ambiguity.

...opium of the people nowadays seems to be astrology. Just about every U.S. newspaper and women's magazine runs a horoscope column, so eventually the zodiac was bound to cloud over the TV screen. WPIX-TV became the first to capitalize on the astral preoccupation when it began inserting horoscopes into station breaks last January. That feature became so popular that WPIX hired Harper's Bazaar Horoscoper Xavora Pové to turn out a weekly 30-minute series. Miss Pove, an astrology devotee since her days at Sandusky High in Ohio (where she was known as Rosemary Schultz...
