Aw, c'mon!  Next thing you're gonna tell me is that A is V turned

"A"--soon to be split in mid-air over Hiroshima--screaming comes across the
sky.

Damn, it doesn't quite parse but almost.

Incidentally I meant to make reference to a cartoon a few days ago in
the Washington Post in which a man sitting on the beach was watching a
sky-writing airplane emitting that famous opening line. I guess the
idea was summer reading at the beach.
