My parents, of Belgian-German extraction, were Belgian nationals who had taken refuge in England during the war.

Despite official drivel about clean bombs and tactical nuclear weapons, anyone who can read a newspaper or listen to a radio knows that some of us mortals have the power to destroy the human race and man's home on earth.
