I grew up under the flight path of a large mid-western air base. So, our perpetual neighborhood baseball games were wrapped in the sounds of bombers landing and laced with the shadows of fighter jets that dashed through our back yards. The Cold War was all around us, but the neighborhood kids simply incorporated those intrusions into our play.
Thinking back, I wasn’t amazed as much by the lie that was “duck and cover” when you lived a half mile from the air base, as by how kids managed to fit that uncertainty into their everyday lives.
