When I was a child, they would march us down into tunnels under the school and made us sit cross-legged on the floor against the wall.  We were happy to get out of class for those drills and were glad knowing we would be safe if the Russians attacked us with atomic weapons.
And in the summer, a man would walk down the street tacking paper signs to all the elm trees warning people to move their cars out of the street. Then a truck would come by towing a trailer with a guy sitting on a machine that sprayed up into the canopy of the trees.  The other kids and me would run after the truck laughing as the DDT fell down on us like a cool rain. The man on the trailer would wave and smile.
Those were great times. The world was never so orderly and safe as it was during the Cold War. Al Kaline. Neil Armstrong ...and so forth.

Interesting. I didn't know the cold war took place in the 60"s. I was never good in History.
