re: #91 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

It’s grimly humorous to look back now on that 50s-60s public perception of nuclear war, namely the misconception that a nuclear blast is simply a more powerful conventional bomb. Just hide under your desk and don’t look at the flash and you’ll be A-OK.

The reality was too horrible to think about. In retrospect, ‘Duck and cover’ really meant, “Do the ostrich.”
