Senator Charles Percy was interviewed on WGN this morning and the
topic was "The Day After".  Briefly, the main points of the discussion
were (as best as I remember):

1) We have been the only ones, so far, to use a nuclear device.
   Therefore the Soviet people are more concerned about a nuclear
   war than we are.

2) He had urged everyone to see the film since he feels the more
   "publicity" on such a disaster, the better. Even a lot of well
   educated people have no idea what the effects of a nuclear
   detonation are.

3) He estimated that at least 70 Million Americans watched the film
   and wished that it could be shown in the Soviet Union as well.
