In a kinder world, there are also stacks of dough. Anyone remember “Bloom County”? There was a story arc from 1986/1987 when Oliver Wendell Jones and Milo have something similar happen. The kids claim to be developing a weapon for the “Star Wars” program. Giant boxes of untraceable cash start showing up on Milo’s front steps in hours. It goes to their heads.

I also read “Utne Reader” and “Newsweek”. Did anyone else grow up thinking that being a defense contractor sounded pretty fun and glamorous?
