Martha, you convinced me to order "The Starplace." Amazon has a used copy for $.01 but of course I'll have to pay ~$3.00 in shipping, still a good bargain.
I was born in 1944 and I NEVER remember those atomic drills. I guess people in South Carolina didn't think they were significant enough to get bombed. I do remember watching the search lights in the sky and people being asked to be on the Civil Air Patrol -- but that isn't mentioned in your review, my mind just wandered.
I wonder about the flip-flops too. I can't remember owning any way back then.
I've started the DeVries book. So far I haven't found any belly laughs but I'm still in the 1/25th of the book! I'm taking really good care of it.
Kathy
