		In the 1951 science fiction epic "The Day the Earth Stood Still a large powerful metal robot named Gort neutralizes the most powerful of human weapons.
		The alien Klaatu makes a promise that Gort will return to Earth in 50 years to see if the inhabitants of Earth had complied with their demand for world peace and put an end to the use of nuclear weapons.
		While the end of the cold war seemed to hint at the possibility of nuculear peace, the bombing of the parking garage in the north tower of the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993 shatters the illusion of safety.

		After the fuss had died down and Swift had suffered the various punishments meted out to him, Frances married, and Cornwallis went off with Essex to fight in Ireland; and a Hugh Swift, attorney, appears again in the records.
