CLEVELAND, Ohio - "I don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up." -- George C. Scott, as the immortal Gen. Buck Turgidson in "Dr. Strangelove."

Gen. Turgidson was defending a program to the President that failed to stop a mad man from launching a preemptive nuclear strike on Soviet Russia.
