Duck And Cover
Now that the Bush administration has completely screwed up yet another aspect of foreign policy by allowing North Korea to go nuclear, it seems appropriate to offer some nuclear safety advice.
Duck and Cover was an educational film produced in 1951 by the US Government’s Civil Defense department as part of a public awareness campaign of the dangers of nuclear war. The film was shown to American school children but it’s advice is dubious and it’s purpose was controversial. Was it really an "educational" film or a Red Scare tactic designed to make children afraid of the Soviet Union and communism? You decide:
