Worse? Will do for many years to come. We have not seen the end of it and photojournalist will be shooting the same kind of photographs 50 years or more from now!! All you have to do is be there, I was, six weeks of hell!!! 1992 and that was just the beginning of the children you see in Paul's pictures. I left rooms in tears as I kept relating too my 10 grandchildren and their yet to be children because of the effects of nuclear power plants gone wrong. And the idiots who advocate the use of nuclear arms! Like it isn't just in the back yard of one nation... think about this.... everyone of us on this list, maybe some more than others are or would be affected. And when we hear or read reports by the idiot Prime Minister of Iran going on about "Nuclear power plants?" And in the same voice about obliterating another country? I'm sorry one has to really question his mental capabilities in that he would be affecting each and every one of us, including his own people, if Iran were to use some kind of nuclear weapon! I also realize this maybe considered off topic. However, I didn't bring it up, but let me say I shot everything in '92 with M6's, R8's with motor drives and Tri-X. And no you can't see it! ted
