Strangelove precursors
Really enjoyed those Stranglove questions! What a classic flick...
Now, working backwards from the satire to the original, here's some
from "Failsafe"...
(1) What was the "attack Moscow" code accidentally sent by the SAC computer
    (probably a JCL error) to the "Vindicator" bombers?
(2) Who played the character parodied by Sellers in Strangelove, and what was
    his stage name?
(3) Anybody got any ideas on where the screenplay-writers got the idea
    that nuclear explosions cause telephones to go "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."?
    Feedback?? Screams of pain from the switching equipment? The beginning
    of a recording, "the number you have reached is no longer in service..."
