Sure, but it turns out to be a risk that can be avoided.

We haven't even seen the worst of the rabid loons in
India and Pakistan manage to end up with that result.

There is a TV show which claims that a first strike was only avoided because 
a USSR submarine commander disobeyed his protocol and didn't fire during the 
Cuban missile crisis.

Sure, but its very far from clear that even if he had fired it,
and its far from clear that he actually was ever ordered to,
that that would have seen a MAD utter insanity.

	It was avoided, but I have no idea how much luck was involved in
that and I doubt it will ever be known.

Bet that was hardly ever with something as important as that.

> and I doubt it will ever be known.

I don't agree. It is in fact much more likely that we will
eventually know the detail of stuff like that claim about
the russian sub captain that ignored the protocol to
launch, whether that actually happened or not and
whether that was in fact the protocol or not.

That's what the DEW line was for - to give at least a little warning.

Also a great announcer of moonrise, from what I read. Is it still
in operation?.. The Flyingdales one is the UK was very funny, afaik,
it was there to warn the US of attacks from the East. There wasa  story 
that being in the way of the outgoing radio pulses was _very_ bad for health.

(All that besides, it seems that all that scheme was very innovative.)

DEWLine was replaced in the '80s and is now supplemented with space-
based systems.

Let's not forget SAGE, which we, indirectly, owe our careers to.

Except that the transit time is a lot longer and there was a huge radar 
system set up to give warning.  It wouldn't have been _much_ warning, 
about 15 minutes, but it wouildn't have been like you say.

If you're close enough to ground zero that the thermal shock
ignites wood items, yes, duck and cover isn't a viable survival
strategy.   However, beyond the reach of the thermal shock, the
shockwave will cause structural issues that duck-and-cover _will_
mitigate (falling ceiling tiles, lights, etc.).  Much like an
earthquake.

So, while duck-and-cover is useless if you're within a mile or
three of ground zero (depending on yield), it can be a valuable
short-term survival strategy further out.

No, it wouldn't.  Whatever image the word "desk" places in your mind,

The schools I attended didn't HAVE inside corridors, at least not the

Of course it would.

These are
https://www.google.com/search?q=grade+school+desk+1950&tbm=isch
and all of those would protect against failing debris
and be better than nothing with flash burns too.

Few of them were particle board in the 50s, and even you should
have noticed they were just a tad bigger than a postage stamp.

Must explain why the entire population of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki died. And the schools and houses there
were a lot more lightly constructed than in the US at
that time.

It is for those the bomb doesn't kill.

Still had better than nothing flash burns wise.
