Interesting article: “Friday night on the Discovery Channel in Canada (but not in the U.S.), Canadian filmmaker Michael Jorgensen will make the case that in February 1950, Capt. Theodore F. Schreier, who was from Madison, risked and ultimately lost his life in a single-handed attempt to keep U.S. nuclear weaponry and secrets from falling into enemy hands. The documentary is called “Lost Nuke,” and it promises to be a stunner.”Coincidentally, the article quotes Canadian nuclear expert Dr. John Clearwater, a curious fellow who was down the hall from me in King’s College Hall in London in 1991-92, when Clearwater and I were fellow King’s College London students (he went by the pseudonym John Strangelove back then). Picture of Clearwater and me in London–he had opposite sides of his mustache and beard shaved off for some weird Canadian reason.

(Clearwater has written some books (2) on Canada and nuclear weapons. )

Thanks to link from Matt Schemmel, a fellow law student in London who noted Clearwater’s name.
