The black satchel that is never far from the president's side is called the nuclear football not because five specially trained aides from the military services hand it back and forth. No, the nickname came about shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis — as part of a war plan that was code-named Dropkick. |

In 1898, a novel by American author Morgan Robertson depicted the sinking of an unsinkable ship. One of the most important plot points in “Futility” concerns the Titan, the largest ship of its day that hits an iceberg and tragically sinks at sea. While the story focuses on a naval officer’s life after the sinking, it’s hard not to compare this fictional story to the historical sinking of the Titanic...14 years later! |
