Letters of last resort are carried by British nuclear subs, and detail what to do in the event the government of Britain is no longer functioning. "According to Peter Hennessy's book Secret State: Whitehall and the cold war 1945 to 1970, the process by which a Trident submarine would determine if the British government continues to function includes, amongst other checks, establishing whether BBC Radio 4 continues broadcasting."

(Mostly) unseen photos from 1955 atomic tests in Nevada. This whole area sort of fascinates me, along with the fact that visitors to Las Vegas used to have atomic test picnics and watch the blasts.
