Lived it. Friends and family at many of those shots. One grandpa was on the construction team for Operation Plowshare; the other grandpa was the Union supervisor for all the machining at Los Alamos National Labs. Norris Bradbury was one of his best buds; [Carson Mark](rg/wiki/J._Carson_Mark) was another. My parents grew up with Carson Mark's kids; I grew up with Carson Mark's grandkids. Ben Cohen's "BBs" is a great companion piece.
