From the military point of view, clean megaton bombs have two strikes against them: 1) they are built at very high cost in explosive yield, presumably because they cannot use cheap and plentiful uranium 238; and 2) they may be good for special military uses, such as obliterating a city whose site must be occupied soon, but they lack the full punch of "dirty" megaton bombs. No one could be sure that a U.S. enemy, for instance, would use a clean bomb to obliterate Washington when the fallout of a dirty one might kill, in addition, most of the inhabitants...

And a shower to sing in is just what his voice needs...

Combination washers and dryers were down 24%. wringer washers 30%, electric dryers 26%, gas dryers 10%. But because of shifts in consumer likes, some newer lines showed strength. Sales of electric built-in ranges were up 27%, gas built-in ranges...
