“And there’s Andy Warhol’s fifteen minutes. His time limit for fame, for the spotlight. And so why is it fifteen minutes, and not ten or three? Or a New York minute? And then I remembered – fifteen was a famous number at that time. It was in all the papers: fifteen minutes was the time that took for an ICBM to reach New York City from Moscow. You remember Moscow.”(Laurie Anderson, 2003)

(ICBM = 大陸間弾道ミサイル)
