I've watched several documentaries that talked about the US aircraft
that got shot down over the Soviet Union. Thats why the switch to the
U-2s.

About 40 US planes were shot down between 1950 and 1970 with the loss
of 250 crew.   Mostly over Eastern Europe rather than Russia though.
In the early '50s the RAF ran all the missions as FDR banned the
flights after the loss af a Privateer off Latvia in 1950.
The RAF had the best plane fot the job anyway - the Canberra, later
built under licence by Martin as the B-57 and RB-57...

I can find record of two losses of B-47s to Soviet aircraft.  One was in 
international airspace in 1955, while the other was _after_ the U-2 
incident, which made it kind of "me too".

Neither was on a penetration mission in the '50s.

Hardly evidence that the Soviets could effectively resist a US attack in 
the '50s.

There was a secret US Air Force program... in which US pilots would fly 
B-29s over the Soviet Union until they detected all the radars "lighting 
up", and then turn around and fly back.  It was a dangerous game.  If a B-29 
was lost, there would be a cover story about how the crew died.

Nixon was in reality a roughneck, a poor kid from the streets.  He
managed to get himself reasonably polished up, but then took on the
pitbull role for the Republican party after his election to Congress.
Ironically, he really to get beyond that when he became VP, but
Eisenhower assigned Nixon to do all the dirty work, while Eisenhower
acted as a dignified statesman, staying above the fray and Nixon got
the bad press.  Eisenhower failed to give Nixon a solid endorsement
in 1960, which didn't help Nixon's chances.

As best as I can tell, Nixon never followed his Quaker birth.  I don't
think his father, also a roughneck, was a Quaker either.

While Nixon did talk about his early poverty once in a speech, generally
he seemed to act like a society gentleman, or at least he wanted to be a
society gentlemen.  As is joked about, Nixon always wore a suit and tie,
even for a photo op on the beach.

Late in life, Nixon had an aide to help him do research.  That aide later
wrote two tell-all books, which was sad because it was a betrayal of a
private trust.  Anyway, she said Nixon remained intensely competitive
to the end, though he was devastated by Pat's death.  He was not expected
to live very long after her passing, and he didn't.

Nixon was overjoyed when Bill Clinton quietly invited him to the
White House to consult on foreign policy.

Lots of the US is outside that range and would have seen russia
obliterated if they had actually been stupid enough to try it.

The real threat was to western europe, not to the US before ICBMs showed up.

You're wrong.

No it did not with the whole of the US. And they never had that
many of them, so they couldn’t even just do suicide missions.

About as limited as the B-52.  There are roughly as many Bears in 
service as B-52s, however the Bears have two designation--the majority 
are Tu-95 strategic bombers, but 15 or so are Tu-142 maritime patrol 
aircraft,

You had strange desks. Ours were maybe 18"x24", and were certainly sturdy

You must have been a rather violent lot then.  These seemed to last out 
a school year fairly well, but by the end of it there were always a few 
in the corner with their tops leaned in the seats.

When a desk was broken, we knew it was one of the bigger guys.
In PS 68 we still had those desks with the inkwells, bolted to the
floor.  Cast iron legs.

The newer Junior High they built for the baby boom was still 3 stories,
but it looked like 1 from the front.  That had desks you could move
around but still park a truck on.

I''ve seen those.  If they had us hide under those it might make a 
little bit of sense.

Ours were generally speaking a chair with an extended arm that was the 
"desk".  On some it was full width and metal, on most it was half width 
and particle board with a molded plastic seat.  The science classrooms 
were better-they had tables and chairs instead.  But by the time we got 
to those they had stopped having drills.

That is what most grade schools had in the very early 50s when
those drills started.

Aha! _Now_ what you say makes sense. I personally wouldn't even call 
those things desks. And associate them more with High and maybe (don't 
remember) Middle School. Our elementary school desks (rural NY) were 
(1st grade) the cast-iron and wood flip-top desks with inkwell holes, 
bolted to the floor, and (later grades) sheet-metal tub with (I think) 
tubular steel legs and laminate flip top. The 1st you could have 
parked a truck on, the latter the same, if you lowered it on top 
carefully. Both covered substantial floor area (at least 1.5x2 ft).
t
Anybody who told you to shelter under one of those chair/desk combos 
was an idiot, or more likely just going through the motions.

Bingo, and by doing so made the whole administration look ridiculous.  I 
think that's part of the problem with education over most of the latter 
part of the 20th century and on into today, teachers say and do things 
that the kids recognize as patently ridiculous and then wonder why the 
kids don't respect them.  And when it's not the teachers being 
ridiculous, it's the principals or the administrators or the regulators.

I saw those old sturdy desks with inkwells two places--a Catholic school 
in Louisiana had them in some classrooms, and I took one class in the 
old high school building, that was made part of the middle school 
briefly before it was condemned for structural inadequacy--my experience 
of that building was mostly walking around it to get to the gym or the 
shop (we had shop in Middle School, with power tools and everything, but 
not in high school--you had to be on the non-college-bound track to get 
shop in high school).

Note that a friend of mine who taught high school for over 40 years in 
New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Baghdad, in both public and parochial 
schools, and has a PhD in education tells me that he he remembers when 
those crummy desk-chairs came in--seems that there was an educational 
fad that came along that touted the advantages of being able to 
rearrange the seating to order.  None of the teachers I ever had 
actually did such rearranging, but one I dated for a while many years 
later did.  Apparently the first ones were fairly decent, but they wera 
also expensive and they got cheaper and cheaper and cheaper as time went 
by.

They were rather typical school desks--I sat in similar ones in Florida, 
Louisiana, Virginia, and California.  Even the ones that had a larger 
surface were not designed so that one could stand on the desk, even if 
it did not break it would fall over.

The only thing more indicative of idiocy than BEING Speedo is ARGUING

Well this internet thing should have a sidepanel to keep track of who is

And it was never going to, even the worst of
those in charge were never actually that stupid,
particularly in the 50s being discussed when
the USSR have had anything like the delivery
capability to do anything like MAD.

Plenty were in similar situations and survived when those
who weren't were much worse off due to their flash burns.

Even just the lack of flash burns improves your
chances of survival very dramatically indeed.

Note that the attack on Hiroshima was essentially without warning.
The Japanese saw only a few planes, and assumed they were not
bombers.

Oppenheimer had assumed Hiroshima casualties would be much less if
people had been in shelters.  Again, obviously at ground zero there
wasn't any survival, but in marginal areas--quite a large area--
being in a basement was certainly preferable to being on the street 
or an upper story.

In the U.S., fallout shelters, with food and water, were widely 
established to provide some protection immediately after a blast.

If you crash your call into a wall at 100 mph, I'm not sure if an
airbag and seatbelt will be adequate to protect you.  But I suspect
if your speed was 35 mph, you'll be glad you had both.
