R.I.P. I assume the radiation didn't kill him.

Note that AP threw in cancer to imply exactly that.

I remembering hearing that the generals insisted on cameramen - the troops felt safer, if the idiot with the camera was filming...
can't place the quote, though. oh, well.

The ray's probably zapped the bad bugs out. 96 good for him.

Well, the mineral waters with higher radiation levels were used for medicinal baths. So who knows - radiation might be even good, if applied judiciously and taken in moderation.

To me, this image is what comes to mind every time the President or one of the Mullahs speak from Iran. The bomb can never be a "toy" for Islamists.

Without all that radiation giving him cancer, the poor guy might have lived to 97.

Even at the epicenter of political correctness called UCLA...
the Radiaion Safety office would admit in their lectures that
exposure to low-levels of radiation appears to actually increase
life-span in lab animals.

Nah. Were he not irradiated, he'd be 120 long ago.

When I was in graduate school, a number of the older professors
(some educated on the GI Bill post WWII and Korea) had done
stints
at places like Rocky Mountain Arsenal, slinging radio-isotopes in
amounts that would send any sane person running for a very deep cave.
BUT...it was their fellow professors from depts. of Art or PoliSci that would
drop by to say "Well, I'm dying of cancer".
From what I could tell, it was far more dangerous to have a life of
wine, women, song and cigarettes...than pipetting radio-isotopes.

The radiation took a couple of months off. He surely would have lived to 96 1/2.

I heard that recently about home radon.
More lung cancer maybe, but less other stuff.

If the cause of death had not been reported, we'd be wallowing in speculation. It's basic reporting to give the "Why". I just wish the AP and other MSM would be consistent with it.

A few profs smoked, but wine, women and song were nonexistent. Some of the Peace Studies womyn would bare their breasts in protest every once in a while. /shudder/

Note that AP threw in cancer to imply exactly that.I disagree. Most stories about the dead will almost always name the cause of death. Besides, it's no secret that atomic bombs put out lots of contamination in the form of radiation. The fact is, no one will probably ever know if being in that area after the fact, was the cause of his death, many years later.
To: ncountylee
they must of been torn between radiation and smoking since the picture in #1 sure looks to me like he's holding a cigarette in his hand... but the LSM isn't bias though. 8^)
