Read a book a few years ago, wish I could remember the name of it. The thing I found most interesting, and I'm not saying that it is related, is it had maps of every nuclear test conducted. Pretty much followed the same pattern. From Nevada, through the southwest, across the south and up the east coast or directly across the country due east. Had a few good points in about like how the government and Kodak had worked out an arrangement with their photographic paper plant in Chattanooga where ther would give them a 48 hour notice of a test because the fallout was causeing spots on their paper. The writer did mention farmers were considered at risk because they were out in the fields working while most people were inside. I happened across the book by doing a search on survival at the local library. That doesn't bother me to much because i wasn't around for most of it. What does bother me is remembering walking down those rows as a kid carrying a 2.5 gallon sprayer loaded with DDT and a variety on other things that have been made illegal to use here. (and a little of it dripping down my backside occassionally) I should mention that both my parents and a few neighbors have died of cancer. Seems like a lot of folks in the community died of cancer....think there is a connection?
