...rapid cutting between past, present and future. We see a real statement from a church council supporting nuclear war. Then a close-up of the terrified face of a nurse saying, Their bodies are just falling apart. A young couple carrying their son, who has been blinded by the glare. A "firestorm"--blasts of wind so fierce that they crush the firemen and their equipment. Watkins says that nuclear war is unthinkable, beyond the worst nightmares of madmen and fools--and an all-too-possible extension of current problems...
Fairbank: The Vietnam war, of course, has become a focus for the line-up against Peking, and vice-versa--the occasion on which we glare at each other.

Besides, it gets the benefits of the California sunshine, which Tuchman, who is a recent migrant from New York, describes rhapsodically as "more diffuse, more intense, with a pervasive glare, a kind of luminescence." Sol Lewitt's white jungle gym, for instance, gains a thousand chunky highlights from the sun.
