Sixties futility

[Robert Jackson]

Except for the Cold War of course. 'Duck and cover' and all.

Pynchon makes the point about James Bond being JFK's 'role model' in  
the SL Intro, 'about to make his name by kicking third world people  
around'. (11) It's a pretty harsh indictment (of both the character  
and the Prez).

best regards
