There's .something gruesome .In

days is being annihilated Some
people.'.are so absorbed •••in the
whole ..business that I swear
they'll ' be disappointed if no

I':ve 'just. finished reading a
pile ,of Grade • 12 'essays. More
than .a third of ahem' dealt with
some •aspect 'of nuclear warfare.'
If those. kidsknew half. ' about.
the subjects; on ' their course as
they do about • radiation fallout;
there'd be, no stopping . thern.
They, are . -morbidly . interested
in the -monsters to be created' by:
` mutations .among thepost-atomic
generations. They talk casually
: • about the dosages of •x strontium;
90 and iodine. to .be released. by'
the bombs:
They are fascinated, by fall -out
'shelters; :and "Write .long and`
frightening. lists of: the: ,e uipt...
frigh, g q p
riient they ;should : contain:. One
'lad, asnice a teenager: as you'd'
come: across, 'Warned, in all seri-
ousness,... that • shelter , supplies"
should include a gun, for ` the
purpose of mowing .down. • any
outsider, Who tried to join the
