This guy lives in my parents' neighborhood, and is always decked out like this in the summer. Because he's white as hell, he gets red as fuck... thus crowning him the atomic fireball.
College is under threat and a community may lose a crucial resource. Go to this Facebook page for more about the campaign to save the College. www.facebook.com/Todcollege/ Really like the 50s design of this college. The architect was Sir Hubert Bennett the County Architect for the West Riding, work started in 1951 and it was formally opened in 1955 by a local man, Sir John Cockcroft, the atomic scientist and Nobel prize winner.
There is a sound recording of Sir Hubert Bennett here: sounds.bl.uk/Oral-history/Architects-Lives/021M-C0467X003... he was obviously celebrated enough to warrant this him being interviewed for the National Archive and Sir Hubert had a major impact on British public architecture. In the late forties he went to the States and discovered that their schools were much more generous in the space per pupil (30%) than any school in Britain as well as better in other ways. He was allowed to build Ilkley School to these standards. He made schools better from children and stuck to his principles and built over a hundred schools in West Yorkshire.
The American Interstate Highway System was originally meant as a defense transport programme, inspired by Nazi Germany's Autobahn network.

"Atomic War" was a four part mini-series published by Junior Books in 1952. It depicted a United States where the Cold War became a Hot War and reflected our national paranoia at the time. What I've posted is from the very first issue and these five pages depict the most intense and disturbing point of the run.

It's a picture of my second visit Hiroshima on the Atomic Bomb Day.(First was in the summer in 1985)
Though I arrived at this big city in the night,I was really overwhelmed to see the Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome. That was lit and stood so brightly……
I shamed me that appreciated the atomic bomb momently made this historical,but ironically beautiful monument……

I know, I know, you're wondering too -- what woman applies eyeliner to her boobs? Well, what if "she" isn't a woman? What if "she" is a member of the all-male cast of Harvard's Hasty Pudding theatrical society? That would explain a lot, wouldn't it? (An explanation that stunned-looking girl in the background may sorely need to hear!)
