...Poles sang patriotic anthems, hundreds of hands in the newly built church shot up in V-for-victory signs. Encamped in a side chapel, beneath a red-and-white banner bearing the image of the Madonna, a dozen protesters proclaimed a fast; they would drink only spring water. Still other parishioners vowed to keep a daylong prayer vigil. The demonstration that unexpectedly erupted last week in the Church of St. Joseph the Worker, a parish in the Warsaw industrial suburb of Ursus, recalled dozens of similar protests during the bitter days of martial law.

Initially, the test seemed routine. At 9 a.m., Department of Energy (DOE) engineers detonated a nuclear bomb 1,168 ft. beneath the arid landscape of the Rainier Mesa at the Nevada test site 93 miles northwest of Las Vegas. About three hours later, after instruments detected no radiation at the site, workers in white coveralls returned to trailers near the blast area to begin collecting data.
