Each phase of its irrepressible evolution reappeared in the next: the theater had more than its share of Barnum, the movies committed more Follies than Florenz Ziegfeld, and TV is in effect bringing vaudeville back to life.

The nuclear fireball expands very fast at first, but both its temperature and pressure fall as it gets bigger. When its pressure equals that of the air, the ball stops expanding (for a megaton explosion, at a diameter of about one mile). The air also absorbs gamma and ultraviolet rays, confines radioactive particles to a comparatively small cloud...
