Today's diversion is a 1978 book by Dr. Helen Caldicott. This is the 1980 paperback printing. The hardback went through four printings before the softbound version came out.
As you can see from the rear cover, Dr. Caldicott isn't worried about us blowing each other up, but about nuclear poisoning of the environment. You'll have to draw your own conclusions.
According to the pronouncements on the rear cover, made in 1980, by now we should all be "deformed or diseased" by now.
Of course, this might explain the popularity of "American Idol."
