I once interviewed with a large Defense Firm and asked "is your entire
income dependent on fluctuating DOD spending?"  The guy said it wasn't,
they were diversified with a lot of business from other countries, which
he suggested meant, in particular, Iran.  Luckily, I didn't take the job.
That was in 1978.
