This brings about an interesting perspective on how the Cold War effected almost every aspect of life especially during the early years. Case in point: Even your alma mater sends out a combination alumni ID and what to do in case of an “atomic bomb air burst” information card. Most of the information appears to be pretty sound advise, but the parts about radiation seem to me a bit sugar coated. Now I’m no nuclear physicist by any stretch of the imagination, but it sounds like a bit of a stretch to state that once “the debris has stopped falling, there is no radiation hazard.” Eh, I don’t know about that one.
