When Guy found that he was one of the few riders who could manage the stubborn pinto, ownership became the only way out. Clarence Smith bought Guy the horse, and it became, in the father's words, an "only brother" to Guy, and later the "common denominator" between...

It is a film about a government which has deliberately kept its citizenry in the dark about these horrors--instead calmly instructing readers of a civil defense pamphlet to be sure to carry their bank books with them into homemade shelters. It is also about a citizenry which prefers not to face the horrors. "Strontium-90?" blinks a man-on-the-street interviewee. "That's some kind of gun-powder, isn't it?"
