Dear Ann Landers,
Tell the goose that people who fail to take every rea-sonable precaution are stupid fools. A country wide open to attack makes a delicious target. I happen to be one of those optimists who believe Ivan will never push the button because he knows we've got a button, too. But all the same, I strongly advocate preparedness. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
