Nine states, all east of the Mississippi River except South Dakota, look to be smaller in the year 2000: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York on the East Coast and, toward the industrial Great Lakes, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois...
When TIME Correspondent Barry Hillenbrand visited the area a day later, he found Bhamdun a shambles and deserted, except for Druze soldiers. Roofs had collapsed, window frames were stained black by fires, and smoke curled from several stone villas.

...Great American Strip-Off is a continuing series of competitions across the country in which overzealous but ever smiling amateurs take it all off (except for a G string) in hopes of winning a crisp $1,000 bill.

Hard to tell, since the reptilian aliens have assumed human form - except that they dress, speak and act as if it were still 1958 and they were all featured players on Father Knows Best...
