Want to know why everyone is crazy in the baby boomer generation?? "Duck and cover!" "Duck and cover!" Doomsday sirens scaring everyone to death. Trying to survive a nuclear blast hiding under your tin desk in the 5th grade. No wonder Sarah Palin can draw a crowd.

Gene is a fine actor. The kid looks like Henry Kissinger on this one!!! Best Hackman appearance is when he flirts with hot Joanne Cassidy

@wayward4now - Back then, the British had their own response to that. It was "Stick your head between your knees, and kiss your arse goodbye". That British advice would have been just as effective as "Duck & Cover", but at least it was honest.
