He closes it off with "Do we know any other fuckin' songs?" ending one of the priceless moments in recording history...

...number of speculations are posited. Both sides, the authors believe, would refrain from using nuclear weapons, though chemical warfare would be fairly widespread. The modern conventional war would be over quickly because of the speed with which supplies would be consumed. (The danger of such war games is that even professional strategists can be overtaken by events. The book assumes, for example, that Iran, led by the Shah, would support NATO strongly.) As this history develops, open revolt among the satellite nations and within the Soviet Union splits the country into republics, but not before an ICBM destroys Birmingham, England...
