The Cold War, a war not of gas masks and jackboots or tanks and fighter craft but of influence, of backroom dealings and economic sabotage, of puppet regimes and proxy conflict. The threat of Mutually Assured Destruction, or M.A.D., has long hung over the international community, for over three decades that threat has been posed, and several times it has come frighteningly close to becoming reality: The Berlin Blockade, The Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the list goes on. And yet, now, on May 31st, 1981, the world stands closer to that threat than ever before.
