re: #70 Shiplord Kirel

I remember the thalidomide scandal quite clearly, the ghastly pictures in Life Magazine and the incredible story of how this horror was kept out of the United States.

I well recall reading that issue and how upset folks at the time were by it. (I’m an Air Force brat, and anything to do with radiation, especially in deliverable bomb form, was always a big deal for us kids and adults on bases I grew up on. It practically drove at least one generation insane.)
