Writing in the Wikipedia:The New Yorker issue of January 9, 1971, Daniel Lang elaborated regarding Rusk's description in an article entitled A Reporter At Large (Wikipedia:Atomic Bombs). Rusk stated that if an all-out exchange, wargasm, happened, it would conclude with a handful of miserable survivors contemplating the folly of man.[2]
The word wargasms has been applied to the presidency of John Fitzgerald Kennedy (WP) by Wikipedia:Paul Goodman (writer). In reference to the Wikipedia:existential and Reichian aspects of the orgasm put forward by (WP) in The White Negro, Goodman used intellectual jugglery to connect the two distinct usages, i.e. wargasm and orgasm.[3]
