    It seems that contemporary weapons would not be able to produce WWIII. They are so fast, devastating, so accurate, that they will never produce such tedious negotiations, such lengthy plans; not enough time. People that count in this matter will negotiate with supersonic speed. Too much power will save us from WW. ~ C A Cafolini

    As I grow older, I can't help but feel I have the mind of a Marine with the power of an amoeaba. Earlier, as this transformation was taking place, I did not feel well. But I soon realized that it could be worse, much worse. I could have gained the mind of an amoeba with the power of a Marine. ~ C A Cafolini

    I don't think a movie today that captured all the things that we did in the seventies could come close, because it's like asking to recreate the seventies and the audience sensibilities and that's impossible. ~ Paul M. Glaser

    So being present becomes more and more the exercise the older you get. ~ Paul M. Glaser
