Tue 15 Mar: Atomic Crimes (Part 2 of 2) - Refugees - Binding Contracts - Runit Salute - Early Years - Same Names - New Plans: The added years have changed perceptions of an evil legacy. Sea Gypsies, the dome, and the new nuclear tourism. Much has changed since the late fifties brought new weapons and atoll attacks. Blackouts, sea floors, radioactive pools and the death snow. Operation Hardtack cleanup was underfunded by a distracted Congress. Stateside nuke production and a Missouri story. Argentina's historic nuke fraud. In the Pacific, exiled island natives can rarely return. The familiar names of Robinson and Sinclair appear as original island owners. Forbidden communications or outside visitors is to save the culture. Some recent history brings us full circle. New ideas for isolated islands include prisons for the corrupt and treasonous. Soccer balls in action? Take it all in and consider the true facts, because our nation's nuclear history may shape our future.
