Dagwood splits the atom

Posted on May 14, 2007 by Wim Lockefeer

dagwood

I found this book on usenet the other day. It’s an “educational” treatise on how the new fangled atom sciences were supposed to change life in the late forties. I kinda like the way King Features incorporated their others characters (besides Dagwood, that is) to illustrate some of the concepts in the story. And I particularly like the way Mandrake the magician is supposed to explain the science behind it all.

Read on for the complete book…

    I grew up in Oak Ridge from 1943 to 1962. I still live here after a few years away for school and getting married. It was a magical place for a child as we were fenced in and felt safe at home even though we were afraid of the war and what was going on. We didn’t know what was happening at the plants as our parents were not supposed to speak of anything confidential. I remember the signs about “what you hear here, leave it here. AND we don’t glow in the dark for real (we only say we do).
