Corrections
A couple of readers wrote in to remind me that aircraft drop chaff to fool RADAR-guided missiles. They drop FLARES to fool heat-seeking missiles.
Ahh, there's a reason the military issues Air Laiason Officers to dumb grunts like me.
Another reader tells me that it's J. Alfred Proofrock, not Alfred J. Proofrock. And sure enough, my dog-eared copy of Norton's Anthology of English Literature says he's right.
I should have been a pair of ragged claws...
Splash, out
