That makes sense. I like the "feel in my bones" expression because even when contemplating the possibility, or being horrified by something like "Fail Safe", I rarely had a strong visceral sense of dread. Sometimes, of course. But MAD always made sense to me, and the chance that several things would go haywire at the same time to permit an accidental exchange seemed too remote. I never took the Cuban Crisis that seriously (I was too young at the time, of course, I mean in subsequent treatments of it). It would have clearly been daft to have a nuclear war over the blockade, therefore there was not one. I figure even the Soviets were normal enough not to do what was obviously stupid and insane........
