I was born in 1972 but the fear of nuclear attack was still a very real thing when I was growing up... at least, to my primary school teachers. We got to see lots of nice movies 'The Day After' and hear about what would happen to Toronto if a nuclear bomb hit us... (ie - we would all be incinerated, but if it hit New York, we could just look forward to a long lingering death). Of course, this just cause 20 years of nightmares of mushroom clouds on the horizon.
