that was a really excellent and saddening class. Learning about the US governmet's lies during the Cold War, about the radiation dangers that were never admitted, about the 25% of sheep in several North Western states that died after one test detonation, deaths that the government claimed had been caused by a "cold snap." "If only they had had wool sweaters" said Jundt in that whiny dead pan of his that must come from saying so many depressing and true things. So many unfortunate things. What a terrific professor. If only i didn't need to finish this research paper for his class, i have to try to get it done by the end of the day.
