I seem to recall hearing somewhere that if the USSR were to nuke
every one of our land-based missiles, unopposed by us, the resulting
dust cloud would cause a worldwide three-year nuclear winter. 
Forgive me for repeating this if it was in this newsgroup.

If anybody else has heard it, can you cite a source?  Is this claim
simply hysteria or is it something that could be mathematically
demonstrated?  If there is a "proof" or documentation of any kind on
this, could you please send it or a reference to me?

			Many thanks,
