When I was in 9th grade in the 1979-80 school year, I remember telling Mr. Talarico that there was no way that the U.S.S.R. could fold, because of the fact that they could essentially match the United States in terms of nuclear power.

My thinking at that time was uninformed, naïve, and simplistic ...... Mr. Talarico, to his credit, asked me rhetorically, "How do you KNOW that ???"

I've come a long way since being a naïve, presumptuous Freshman in high school more than 43 years ago (at least I like to believe that I have.) Nothing, nothing, NOTHING is guaranteed in this life ...... not the Roman Empire, not the former Soviet Union, and not the United States that we currently live in.
