The above appeared in the British 'paper The Guardian in the early '80s (eek! I was reading newspapers before some of you were born). At that time the UK Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) was divided over whether to oppose all nuclear weapons or only those deployed by western countries. A reader's letter published the next day pointed out that the headline writer had used the wrong ornithological metaphor: it should have read "CND hawks ...".
Thanks, Larry, for getting this thread off to such a hilarious start.
