[Husker] Callahan quotes

[Steve Reichenbach]

> Perhaps Callahan knows he is staring into the abyss?

Aren't we all?  Some know it and some, as Phillip Larkin
observed about "The Old Fools", don't: "Extinction's alp,
the old fools, never perceiving how near it is."  Of
course, as he also observes:  "Well, we shall find out."

Personal note: Eric, ask Kelly if she knows that poem.
It's a pretty good one from here in jolly old England.
