The American Interstate Highway System was originally meant as a defense transport programme, inspired by Nazi Germany's Autobahn network.

My collection of Atomic-Age dishes. They include Royal China's Blue Heaven pattern and Tickled Pink by Vernon Ware. I also have a retro pyrex 2 cup glass teapot that I found at a thrift store for 86 cents! The hutch was my grandmother's and its from the 50's.

"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……

Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago is the first science and engineering research national laboratory in the United States, receiving this designation on July 1, 1946.[1] It is the largest national laboratory by size and scope in the Midwest. A multipurpose laboratory led since 2009 by director Eric Isaacs, Argonne maintains a broad portfolio in basic science research, energy storage and renewable energy, environmental sustainability, and national security. It is managed for the United States Department of Energy by UChicago Argonne, LLC, which is composed of the University of Chicago and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.[3] Argonne is a part of the expanding Illinois Technology and Research Corridor.
The laboratory is located on 1,700 acres (6.9 km2) in DuPage County, 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Chicago, Illinois, on Interstate 55, completely encircled by Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve. When it was first established it was known as the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory (Met Lab), and it was previously located within Red Gate Woods. Early in its history, the laboratory was part of the Manhattan Project, which built the first atomic bomb.
Argonne National Laboratory had a smaller facility called Argonne National Laboratory-West (or simply Argonne-West) in Idaho next to the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. In 2005, the two Idaho-based laboratories merged to become the Idaho National Laboratory.

For more than twenty years the B43 was the United States' air-dropped nuclear weapon used by a wide variety of aircraft. The weapon was developed in 1956 by Los Alamos National Laboratory, entering service in April 1961. Total production was 2,000 weapons, ending in 1965.
The B43 was built in three variants: Mod 0, Mod 1, and Mod 2, each with five yield options. Explosive yields varied from 70 kilotons of TNT to 1 megaton of TNT. The B-43 could be delivered at altitudes as low as 300 ft, with fusing options for air burst, ground burst, free fall, contact, or laydown delivery - a mode of deploying a free-fall nuclear weapon in which the bomb's fall is slowed by parachute so that it actually lands on the ground before detonating.
Aircraft that could carry the weapon included most USAF, USN and USMC fighters, bombers and attack aircraft, including the A-3 Skywarrior, A-4 Skyhawk, A-5 Vigilante, A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II, B-47 Stratojet, B-52 Stratofortress, F-100 Super Saber, F-105 Thunderchief, F-4 Phantom Il, F-111 Aardvark, FB-111A, F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F/A-18 Hornet. The B-1B Lancer was also intended to carry the B43 prior to the B-1's reassignment to conventional strike roles. The B43 was also supplied to Great Britain.
The B43 was never used in anger, but it was involved in a nuclear accident when an A-4 Skyhawk of the USS Ticonderoga from Attack Squadron VA-56 was lost off the coast of Japan on 5 December 1965. The aircraft, the pilot, and the bomb were never found.
The B43 was phased out in the 1980s, and the last B43 weapons were retired in 1991 in favor of the newer B61 and B83 weapons.
The upper weapon was used by Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams to practice their skills on, while the lower weapon was used by aircraft ground crews to practice loading the weapon on various aircraft. The "spike" on the end of the weapon buried itself in the ground and kept the unit from being dragged by its parachute when the target was small and needed precision accuracy.

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!)

This atomic likely dates from the late mid 1950's. These machines are relatively rare: they are as large as later Robbiati Atomics but do not have the steam arm attachment that became standard on all later Italian made Atomic machines. The bakelite handle on the portafilter is smaller than later handles, with a scalloped indent. The machine also has the classic Brevetti Robbiati ATOMIC badge.
