Ray, to your comment on the cost of the Cold War: I have a Defense Intelligence manual cataloging USSR military vehicle 
weapons systems of the late CW era. When you look at all those heavy, hardened, very special purpose vehicles, not 
convertible to civilian use, you have to wonder about the vast cost to build all those things.  This is not so off-topic as some
of those vehicles were special radar vehicles. Thinking about that subject now calls to mind my rereading of "Aftermath" 
yesterday, and also a photo I saw in newspaper also, of 5 or more defunct Russian tanks scattered in some field in 
Afghanistan. The very remote view of such production might be that it's all a great sacrifice for Mars, god of war. Not 
entirely a dead waste however, as technology advances also with this work.
