An early Harlan Ellison story--"The Very Last Night of a Good
Woman" {exact title?}--tells of a young man who is both a virgin
and a precognitive. All his visions of the future have always
come true, and now he foresees the outbreak of atomic war.
His response? Simply to get laid for the first and last time,
as the future is inevitable.
