Billing itself as a repository of "All Things Atomic" from "The Golden Age of Homeland Security", Conelrad is wacky stroll down late-1940s through mid-1960s nuclear-threat Memory Lane.
The combination of scare tactics and false reassurance is a study in the duality of man, esp when under the threat of nuclear annihilation. Good times.
If you're old enough to remember those halcyon days of looming destruction, or if you're like me and have only read about them, this site is worth a check-out. It's a chilling, yet sort of comforting, contrast to the Homeland Security scare tactics and false reassurances of today.
