Years later came another piece of disturbing news: it turned out that the nuclear-bomb tests conducted by the Pentagon in next-door Nevada from 1951 to 1962 were not safe after all. President George Bush acknowledged as much in 1990, and since then the U.S. has paid $67 million to 1,338 of the "downwinders," many of whom live in Utah and believe their exposure to radiation caused leukemia and other...
