Fact Attack!
Being of, ahem, a certain age I find it almost quaint when fears of nuclear apocalypse will flare up and then just as quickly fade away. Because in the early ’80s, such concerns were a constant background hum. The threat of mutual annihilation permeated the culture. It was in pop songs by everyone from Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Nena to Captain Sensible and Strawberry Switchblade. It was in documentaries like QED and dramas like Threads. And it was in children’s fiction, too.
