I just wrote this for the folks in America, and the rest of the world. I thought you might enjoy reminiscing about the 50s!
Now a new and strange development… the government wants to let us know what to do as the bombs start to fall, but they are intent on doing it without causing a panic! I wrote it all up for BlogCritics (org) and it is a look at the past, the world of the 1950s. it starts:
“Let us face without panic, the reality of our times.” So begins a widely viewed televised presentation prepared and aired to the public during the long remembered 1950s decade of concern; concern of a coming nuclear attack. The black and white film, prepared by the American Department of Civil Defense, and rich with photos of destruction and billowing mushroom clouds, begins with a simple view of an ordinary women, in her backyard, hanging her laundry to dry in the sun. We are left to imagine what may come in the following seconds…”
Don’t miss the explosive and devastating conclusion!
