I saw it in college and remember Poppy and Larry King talking about tranquilizers.

5. Need a fourth for bridge?
I saw it too in college...pretty hard-hitting, especially the army chaplain assuring the soldiers there was nothing to be afraid of, when they were to march into a blast cloud as soon as the shock wave went by...Talked about how "beautiful" the mushroom cloud was...

Also classic for the Duck and Cover films featuring Tommy Turtle...as if it would do any good....
I remember doing those in kindergarten through second grade, drop to the floor, don't face the windows! Lie on your stomach, arm up, protect your eyes by burrying them in the crook of your elbow, hold your other arm behind your neck to protect it, and keep your legs crossed...(?)

What were these people thinking?

7. I saw it many moons ago.
Another must-see documentary...(along with Hearts and Minds, Bowling for Columbine, F9/11 etc.)
