A new study shows that back home in the heart of the U.S., fallout from Cold-War nuclear tests may have killed as many as 15,000 people. This would be front page news everywhere if it had happened all at once - but since it took years for these people to die - it will barely be a blip in the history books. tag:metafilter.com,2002:site.15170 Thu, 28 Feb 2002 18:04:22 -0800 brokenlink coldwar nucleartests stevengarrity
