        @wellerstein I'm interested in cross-cultural differences b/w brochures. See a rare c.1983 Australian version: http://najtaylor.com/EffectsofNWBooklet.pdf …

        @wellerstein This is of course important since OZ is a prime target - b/c of US intel sites (e.g. Pine Gap). See: https://medium.com/editors-picks/c466aa5f0b57 …

        @wellerstein For a bibliography on Pine Gap - coincidentally all released around the same time as the brochure - see:http://nautilus.org/briefing-books/australian-defence-facilities/possibilities-and-effects-of-a-nuclear-missile-attack-on-pine-gap/#axzz2kwd1KzjS …
