A Day in the Life is by all odds the most disturbingly beautiful song the group has ever produced.

Sagan--tick off their views (and occasionally their differences) on any number of timely strategic issues. Most notably, they back the deployment of new NATO missiles in Europe, oppose a blanket "no first use" policy, and split on the construction of the MX missile.
