Brian Fitzgerald of Greenpeace
wrote from Amsterdam:
Well I'll be danged. I was one of the first four activists to
penetrate NTS to ground zero at Yucca Flats in 1983 with a Greenpeace
expedition.We had to find our way through the borders of Nellis
using topo maps with unreliable terrain renderings and stayed
well clear of Area 57, where our sources said we'd be likely to
find the warnings of "Authorized to use deadly force"
against intruders would be taken seriously. We dodged the unexploded
ordinance, we monitored radiation levels, we foiled heat-imaging
cameras with mylar blankets. We ate gorp and dust. We walked right
down to the rig that was drilling the next crater-to-be and got
mirandad by a Wacanut [sic] who probably memorized the spiel from
old episodes of Adam-12. Jeez. All that trouble, and today we
could have just dropped in via the web. The times they are a changin.
