OK, but the very definition of "The Helsinki Man" is the man who is
experiencing Helsinki right now today. Or at least that's the
definition on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, but on other days of the
week the definition is the man who REMEMBERS experiencing Helsinki
today, and on those days the Helsinki Man would be a fool to expect
that the Helsinki Man would experience one and only one thing tomorrow.
I did use proper nouns. So what is John Clark's answer to the question
what did the Helsinki man expect regarding his future just before he
pushed the button? My guess would be that he expected to experience
being in either Moscow or in Washington, just as if H-man were going to
be anesthetized and flown to one or the other city.
