My friend Scott at the library was asking me if I remembered the song at the end of the '60s movie Dr. Strangelove, an apocalyptic thing. "I wasn't allowed to see James Bond movies when I was ten, even though all my friends did," I told him. "My father thought there was too much sexuality in them."
"I'm talking about Dr. Strangelove," he laughed. "You're talking about Dr. No."
