PRE-EMPT

by John R. Vorhies ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 23, 1967

This goes Dr. Strangelove one better. Done up in a series of reports, articles, tapes, letters and editorials, it traces the events leading to the impeachment of the President of the U.S. Captain Hawk of the S.S. Nathan Hale, a submarine with enough bombs aboard to make it the sixth nuclear power, sends a message demanding that all nations with atomic weapons turn them over to the control of an international committee; he emphasizes his point by launching a bomb first into a relatively unpopulated area in the U.S., then into Russia. Then the hot lines sizzle as the World tries to track down the renegade sub. Fallout brinkmanship, stop watch suspense.
