The World's Fair holders are a bit problematic as artifacts, but interesting nonetheless. Not exactly true. First of all, we knew that radiation was not fun because we bombed two Japanese cities, killing about 200,000 people. But, like fire and sharp sticks, how you use a tool determines on how safe it is. Secondly, we do not have an entire generation of people 70 years old with foot cancer.
