Great photos here. I appreciate that the article does not seek to simply ridicule Civil Defense, like most retrospectives do. CD failed in the US, without question — but the reasons are complex, and important. There are important lessons in that failure.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/23/nyregion/nuclear-anxiety-photos-new-york.html …
(Currently reading @sovietologist's new book on comparative US-Soviet Civil Defense, which largely about how it worked, and why it failed.) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1469645254/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=000000123-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1469645254&linkId=edd885714837e4644b2c789537181c68 …
By the way, my favorite artifact of NYC anti-Civil Defense is Happy Traum's "Let me Die In My Footsteps," which features Bob Dylan on backing vocals. Traum is a friend of my colleague Ed Friedman, and was arrested for protesting mandatory CD exercises.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5jph1KWl_Q …
Here's audio I obtained on the final OPAL - OPAL '61 featuring a JFK CONELRAD address.https://soundcloud.com/conelrad6401210/actual-conelrad-broadcast-1961 …
I found this document at NARA a few years ago. Apparently, OPAL '62 was a slim possibility as of January of that year. Guess they thought better of it...pic.twitter.com/X19Lih47zP
