I don't recall having nuclear safety drills when I was a kid in southern California in the 70s. (We did more to prepare for earthquakes, and when they hit we knew exactly what to do: DROP!)

My mom was in high school in Indiana during the Cuban missile crisis. Her physics class had to calculate missile trajectories from Havana to Indianapolis. Yikes!

If it weren't for the Cold War, we'd never have "Dr. Strangelove." :D
