Brad Guth, even more so than most laymen, is obsessed with the Big Bad
Radiation Boogey Man.

Cue Pat Flannery - we want a writeup on the origin of poor young Brad's 
fears of radiation and Atomic Annihilation.  Stick to important facts - 
pay attention to his first-hand observations of mushroom clouds rising 
over the desert homestead where he lived with his UFO-obsessed family, 
lots of duck-and-cover drills in gradeschool, his strange fascination 
with the Lizard Man at the touring circus that traveled through each 
year, a microwavable meal exploding in his kitchen . . . If you can also 
work in blackbirds, sparking trolley buses, crackpot Nazi mysticism and 
the Bush Twins, so much the better . . . :-)
