I have been holed up with some strange and compelling Cold-War era books on arms control, and on a whim decided to look some of the topics up on the web. In the process, I discovered a fascinating website where you can scare yourself silly about proliferation, learn a lot about how nuclear weapons work, and get some nuclear wallpaper for your desktop.
Maybe it's not a Christmas thought, but it feels like we're reaching the end of a short nuclear intermission, where worrying about things the bomb seemed very retro and vaguely silly. Images of fifties civil defense movies, and Dr. Strangelove.
