The Cold War Atomic Intelligence Game, 1945-70 written about us operations against Soviet targets (including in studies The 1950s and 1960s were the formative years of the Soviet nuclear program. http://www.cia.gov/csi/studies/vol48no2/article01.html
Extractions: Washington needed such information to assess the Soviet nuclear strike capability. Estimates of the Soviet inventories of HEU and plutonium when put together with data on warhead designs would allow CIA analysts to gauge the size and composition of the Soviet nuclear weapons stockpile. Information on Moscow's knowledge of nuclear weapons effects was needed to evaluate the capability of the Soviet Union to design warheads for air-defense and anti-missile missiles and to develop hardened warheads capable of surviving US ballistic missile defenses. Analysis of the impact on the Soviet nuclear weapons program of testing moratoriums and the proposed limited test ban treaty was critical when Washington was developing its position on these issues in the 1950s and 1960s. This period is of particular interest. The 1950s and 1960s were the formative years of the Soviet nuclear program. By the end of this period, Moscow had a mature nuclear weapons technology base and a thoroughly integrated and redundant weapons complex, the configuration of which remained largely the same until the end of the Cold War. In many ways, these were also the most dangerous years of the Cold War. The 1962 Cuban missile crisis and other dramatic events of that period were of critical significance in shaping approaches to national defense, foreign policy, and intelligence that served each country for the balance of the Cold War confrontation.

Extractions: Wesley K. Wark, a noted intelligence historian, once defined the status of British secret service archives as a "Never-Never Land." In an elegant essay on British archival policy in the 1980s he explained how, before 1981, departments of state were told that secret intelligence materials were "never released to the Public Record Office (PRO)." Subsequent to the Wilson Committee White Paper of 1981, this guidance was changed, and departments were thereafter instructed that "the word `never' should never be used." The Wilson Committee considered that in the fullness of time all such records would eventually find their way into the public domain. But for those outside Whitehall, this intriguing double negative seemed to signal little material change, and secret service archives remained "a far-off place" that no independent historian was ever likely to visit. In the United States, the experience of historians working on secret service records is continually identified by writers as being very different. The US National Archives are often represented as nothing short of a "wonderland" where all sorts of treasures are on public view and where specialist archivists, not least the legendary John E. Taylor who presides over records that originate with CIA, conjure up the most remarkable things. Sensitive British records that are not open to public inspection in the PRO at Kew reportedly are there in profusion. Moreover, it is widely held that items that are not immediately available in the National Archives can be summoned magically through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Extractions: Each of us are composed of genetic material derived from our two parents, each of whom were composed of genetic material derived from each of their two parents, each of whom, in turn, were composed of genetic material derived from their respective two parents, and so on. Each of us, therefore, are composed of genetic material derived from numerous direct-line ancestors. The information in genetic material does not break down until after nearly fifteen generations. That means that the genetic material that I am composed of is somewhat the same as that of my great15-grandparents. It also means that each generation donated certain genetic material to the mixture that eventually became me. The desire to know who my ancestors were, so that I might know from whom I got my blue eyes and my propensity to be bald, is what forms the primary attraction of the study of genealogy. My direct line ancestors bore surnames that were German, Irish, Swiss and Scottish. The pages which are attached to this page present, by generation, the lineages of various of my ancestors. This site will usually be in a state of flux as I add new lines which I have fleshed out, and make corrections to ones which I already had.

Extractions: A Dialogue Across Generations. Scanned, copy-edited, spell-checked, and tagged by Tuomi J. Forrest, The University of Virginia, 11/13/95. THE SYMBOL-MYTH-IMAGE generation of American Studies scholars went to school to giants, and in vital respects were giants themselves. They were tutored by the likes of F. O. Matthiessen, Perry Miller, Ralph Henry Gabriel, Samuel Eliot Morison, Arthur O. Lovejoy, Howard Mumford Jones, and they went on to create such classics in the field as Virgin Land; The Savages of Amenca; Andrew Jachson: Symbol for an Age; The American Adam; The Jacksonian Persuasion; The Quest for Paradise; The Machine in the Garden. But in culture studies as in culture, giants do not arise without connections. The contemporary "giants" of the three essays to follow Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann. Gregory Bateson, Clifford Geertz differ in intellectual orientation and discipline of origin from the scholarly mentors of the symbol-myth-image generation. They differ also in their relationship to those writing about them. R. Gordon Kelly, Jay Mechling, and Karen Lystra were not actually taught by the scholars they discuss they are connected not personally but through the medium of the published word. It may be instructive, then, in setting a scholarly context for the essays that follow, to establish some continuities and contrasts between current and past cultural imperatives in the field. (There is little need here to elucidate the essays themselves; they speak eloquently in their own behalf )

Extractions: Vol. 6 No. 4 p. 32 As a dietitian, parent, and lover of physical activity, this message struck home. We have struggled to find the answers to the complex issues of childhood overweight prevention and treatment, and there, suddenly, the answer seemed to be staring at me from my inbox. In an earlier study, Field and colleagues found that dieting among teens did not necessarily lead to lower caloric intake, nor was dieting restricted to girls who were overweight. Sadly, 50% of the girls who were below the national age-standardized 15th percentile for body mass index (BMI) reported their ideal weight as less than their current weight.2 Emphasis on thinness and dieting seems to backfire. A prospective, three-year study of female students in grades 7 to 10 found that restrained eating, body dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, self-induced vomiting, laxative use, diet pill use, and alcohol use significantly increased, while attitudes about physical appearance and self-concept significantly decreased among frequent dieters compared with nondieters.3

Extractions: Studies of human behavior are mirrors of the culture that produce them. The difference between traditional U.S. psychoanalysis (the subconscious), and its traditional counterpart in Russia (conscious behaviorism) is a case in point. Anthropology, too, is similarly influenced. In the United States, culture change has been subsumed under the term "acculturation," a uni-linear evolutionary conceptualization with the anticipated result that all cultural differences will disappear. U.S. "acculturation" has its deepest roots in the comparatively homogenous, expansionist, empire-oriented upper-class imperial echelons of Anglo-British-Germanic culture. As such, it is an extension of a conqueror culture. On the other hand, in Mexican anthropology the principal concept of culture change is "transculturation." This concept holds that culture change is a bi-cultural, multi-linear and synthesizing process in which the ultimate end is the incorporation of cultural differences while the original forms pursue their own multi-cultural diversity. "Transculturation," is the product of an unanticipated, continually changing and synthesizing middle and lower-class which metamorphosed into a mestizo culture. It represents the conquered and its varied mestizo manifestations.

Despite this warning, humanity continued to embrace the quick fixes offered by the chemical industry. Chlorine, widely used as a chemical weapon during World War I, was combined with other toxic chemicals to make PCBs, pesticides and plastic. We added chlorine to our drinking water and used it to bleach our paper and clothes. We bought disposable paper and plastic products, threw them out and then burned the waste, unaware that burning chlorine-contaminated waste created dioxins one of the most toxic chemicals ever identified.

Acknowledgments Essay U.S. Nuclear History: Nuclear Arms and Politics in the Missile Age, 1955-1968 comprehensively documents major developments in U.S. nuclear weapons policies and programs from the mid-1950s through 1968. The period that set the nuclear stage for the decades of the Cold War that followed. Not only did U.S. presidents during the late 1950s and early 1960s determine basic strategic force structures, they approved nuclear weapons deployments, nuclear war planning systems, and NATO nuclear deployments that would endure for decades to come. Given the importance of the nuclear competition to superpower tensions during the post-World War II era, not only as a source of friction in itself but as an element that made the tensions inconceivably dangerous, the documents in this collection introduce the reader to one of the critical inner mechanisms of the Cold War. For the most part, documents in U.S. Nuclear History are organized by subject and, within each category, arranged chronologically. The exception is the collection of official histories and chronologies, which are filed together as a unit. Although most of the documents relate to the 1955-1968 period, a number of items were selected from the years before 1955 to provide background and context for the developments that followed. Because many documents involve issues other than the subject under which they are filed, it is necessary to consult the indexes to identify related documents filed elsewhere.

Extractions: NCI Completes Nationwide Study of Radioactive Fallout from 1950s Nuclear Tests The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has completed a study to assess Americans' exposures to radioactive iodine-131 fallout from atmospheric nuclear bomb tests carried out at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) in the 1950s. Depending on their age at the time of the tests, where they lived, and what foods they consumed, particularly milk, Americans were exposed to varying levels of I-131. Because of the radioactive decay of I-131, such exposures did not exceed two months following each test. Because I-131 accumulates in the thyroid gland, concerns have been raised that the fallout could cause thyroid cancer in people who were exposed to it as children. In 1982, Congress passed legislation calling for the Department of Health and Human Services to develop methods to estimate I-131 exposure, to assess I-131 exposure levels across the country from the Nevada tests, and to assess risks for thyroid cancer from these exposures.
