Re: Strangelove precursors
1) CAP 811
2) Walter Matthau played Groteschele (I'm not real sure of the spelling)
3) The novel on which the movie was based described the shriek as the American
   Ambassador's phone (and related equipment) melted in the fireball.

Incidentally, the book is even better than the movie... ("Falisafe", by Eugene
Burdick and Harvey Wheeler).
