Verlyn Klinkenborg's reminiscience on Rocky and Bullwinkle ends very suddenly, almost in midsentence:

An entire generation got its first impression of our Soviet rivals from Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. The two plotted and bickered and — reassuringly — were always thwarted.

Does Klinkenborg mean this as another allegory about his failed marriage? Or did he just forget to finish his column?

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/opinion/06sun4.html?ref=opinion
