America can still do the big, hard things. God bless all of them, and God bless NASA.

Bring back the ticker-tape parades of yore, say I.

Watch Perry Mason instead (it's better written). Set in California in the '50s-'60s, everyone has a gun, even—perhaps especially—the ladies. It's a complete nonissue; so ordinary as to be utterly unremarkable.
