  • Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances Mckenney, Assistant Managing Editor
    Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances McKenney, Assistant Managing Editor The peace following World War II was short- lived. Soviet forces never went home, kept occupied areas under domination, and threatened free nations worldwide. By 1946, Winston Churchill had declared, “An iron curtain has descended across the conti- nent.” Thus began a 45-year struggle between the diametrically opposed worldviews of the US and the Soviet Union. In 1948, the USSR cut off land access to free West Berlin, launch- ing the first major “battle” of the Cold War: the Berlin Airlift. Through decades of changes in strategy, tactics, locations, and technology, the Air Force was at the forefront. The Soviet Union was contained, and eventually, freedom won out. Bentwaters. Bitburg. Clark. Loring. Soes- terberg. Suwon. Wurtsmith—That so many Cold War bases are no longer USAF instal- lations is a tribute to how the airmen there did their jobs. While with the 333rd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., in 1975, Capt. Thomas McKee asked a friend to take this “hero shot” of him with an A-7. McKee flew the Corsair II as part of Tactical Air Command, at Myrtle Beach AFB, S.C. He was AFA National President and Chairman of the Board (1998-2002).

  • Human Radiation Studies: Remembering the Early Years
    HUMAN RADIATION STUDIES: REMEMBERING THE EARLY YEARS Oral History of Medical Physicist Katherine L. Lathrop and Physician Paul V. Harper Conducted January 26, 1995 United States Department of Energy Office of Human Radiation Experiments 12b1211 September 1995 FOREWORD N DECEMBER1993, U.S. Secretary of Energy Hazel R. O’Leary announced her Openness Initiative. As part of this initiative, the Department of Energy ,undertook an effort to identify and catalog historical documents on radiation experiments that had used human subjects. The Office of Human Radiation Ex- periments coordinated the Department search for records about these experiments. An enormous volume of historical records has been located. Many of these records were disorganized; often poorly cataloged, if at all; and scattered across the country in holding areas, archives, and records centers. The Department has produced a roadmap to the large universe of pertinent information: Human Radiation Experiments: The Department of Energy Roadmap to the Story and the Records (DOEEH-0445, February 1995). The collected documents are also acces- sible through the Internet World Wide Web under http : //www. ohre.doe. gov . The passage of time, the state of existing records, and the fact that some decision- making processes were never documented in written form, caused the Department to consider other means to supplement the documentary record. In September 1994, the Office of Human Radiation Experiments, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, began an oral history project to fulfill this goal. The project involved interviewing researchers and others with firsthand knowledge of either the human radiation experimentation that occurred during the Cold War or the institutional context in which such experimentation took place.

L. Heidel. 1998. Conservation status of Lomatium attenuatum Evert in Montana. Unpublished report to the Bureau of Land Management. Montana Natural Heritage Program, Helena. 20 pp. + app. SUMMARY There are nine occurrences of Lomatium attenuatum (Taper-tip Desert-parsley) known in Montana. These are from Beaverhead and Madison counties with three geographic centers in the Grasshopper Creek drainage, the Ruby Range, and the Tendoy Range. Most populations are on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, followed by Beaverhead National Forest and Montana state lands. Total population numbers in Montana are estimated between 10,000 and 100,000 plants, comparable with total numbers found in Wyoming, the only other place where this species occurs. Populations face few direct threats, but invasions of exotic weeds and mining may potentially threaten the species in the future. Due to relatively high population numbers, wide ecological amplitude, and low degree of threats, current BLM Sensitive status is recommended changed to Watch status.
