N-ADA

     Since nuclear issues are becoming ever-present in the newspapers, the
press has created another abbreviation:  "n-" now stands for nuclear.  We
have been treated to the n-bomb, the n-shelter, and the n-family;  now we
have N-ADA.

     N-ADA is the programming language that the military plans on using once
an n-war has occurred.  Its maximum capabilities are unknown, since no one
will be around to test it.  The derivation of the language's name comes from
two possible sources:
     1)  the end result of an ADA program in an n-war, or
     2)  the response of the El Salvadoran (sic?) who was asked,
     "What have U.S. military advisors done for you?"
