Default Duck and Cover--Not a story by Van Campen Heilner--

Ah yes- those Ike "Happy Days"- but Sputnik sure was a wake-up call, later the Bay of Piggies in "Cuber"-- I grew up loving MAD magazine and all the parodies and spoofs they ran- one I recall was their spin on the old Chicago based (I think) novelty company Johnson & Smith- they rephrased it as "Smithson-John" or something like that and were hawking an A-Bomb detector-- ad went something like this, if memory serves: "Now you too can be prepared for a nuclear attack- this sturdy little device will sound a loud and shrill alarm when a A-bomb goes off within 50 feet (or was it 50 yards)? $2.95 postage paid to your door--
