...whom they've had to compete for attention all night. The Kroks' sense of showmanship doesn't always pan out, and afterwards, Wilson explains to the group that they should always run on stage for encores as a way to keep the audience enthusiastic. It is surprising that this logic is new to the group. McNeely privately complains that some of the guys are committing the ultimate faux pas, talking to each other, across the stage, during their numbers. They make mistakes: Voices crack, chords go out of tune and Liang has to signal one of his earnest-looking friends...

"There?s great political momentum for this right now," says Thompson, "to ignore the Russians, scrap the whole treaty and start building the system." And there?s a certain logic to that - when it comes to nuclear defense, all or nothing always trumps a compromise. "One site in Alaska means the system wouldn?t work as well against Iran," Thompson says. President Reagan, who rode the Iran hostage crisis to election and bluffed the Soviets with big-idea Star Wars, would...
