There is an article in the current PHOENIX magazine about northwest Arizona 
cancer deaths in the area where we conducted atomic tests starting about 
seven years after we dropped the two on Japan. Horrendous early death rates 
from cancer. School children were brought outside to watch the pretty 
explosions. Pink dust settled on their clothes. They were told it was 
harmless. Fourteen years ago, we owned up to what we had done and now the 
government is paying a whole $50,000 to those who can show that a spouse or 
child died from cancer if they lived in certain counties at certain times. 
Through a typo--no kidding, a one-letter typo--Mohave (the bureaucrat 
spelled it Mojave, like they do in California) County residents are not 
eligible. One lady, Danielle Stephens of Kingman, has lost 26 of 31 family 
member to various forms of cancer. The people refer to themselves as the 
"Downwinders."

The government now wants to do more nuclear testing in the same area. 
"Records also reveal that one contemptuous bureaucrat surmising that the 
site was an area containing a 'low-use segment of the population.'"*
