To the Editor: On Oct. 23, 1983, on orders from Iran, the terrorist group Islamic Amal, forerunner to Hezbollah, bombed our U.S. Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 and injuring hundreds more of our finest military personnel. This attack came as almost as a prelude to ABC's two-hour film released one month later, "The Day After," which imagined a full-scale nuclear war on America. While criticized by some for sensationalism, the movie's depiction of mass casualties, breakdown of civil society, and destruction of transportation, electrical and communications systems made an indelible impression on the 100 million Americans who watched the broadcast - the largest audience ever for a made-for-TV movie.

This study examined how these subjects were taught at ninety-one universities and colleges in the United States. It found complex and cacophonous structures with high level of variation by which the courses were organized. An analysis of seventy-five syllabi found diverse sets of goals, extraneous content to advertising, little agreement on textbooks, and inconsistent standards to measure student performance.
