	I need to know what effects would be observed if one of the
	larger nuclear warheads that the Soviets possess were detonated
	over New York City.  I need to know what would be expected to
	happen; 1 mile away, 5 miles, 20 miles, and as far away as
	Boston, about 200 miles away.  I also need to know some times
	as to how fast the blast effects would propagate.

As the joke goes,

"P.S.  I need to know right away."
