	Duck and Cover
		These films are the source of the famous "duck and cover" concept with which we have all become familiar.

	Duck and Cover \| Ask MetaFilter
		"Duck and cover" is for is those people outside of the "flash and fireball" radius (they'd be killed instantly by x-rays, heat, or the intensity of the close-in shock wave collapsing buildings on top of them) but still within the "blast" radius, as the shock wave weakens.
		Data point: I did duck and cover practice in elementary school in the mid 80's under the guise of "tornado drills." Always thought it was weird, since we lived in the Appalachian mountains and never had tornados.
		We went through the duck and cover drills regularly due to the close proximity of the missile base at Vandenberg AFB and we just looked at it as something different from the regular routine of school until they added a twist in '65.

		DUCK AND COVER, which is a public domain film, has also been slapped on numerous VHS and DVD video compilations with little regard for its true legacy.
		And while there's no denying that DUCK AND COVER is a hilariously naïve work, one must consider the times in which it was made and compare it to other civil defense films made around the same time to appreciate its unique creativity.
		In many ways DUCK AND COVER is the perfect synthesis of the competing themes of the 1950's: Fear and prosperity.

		After watching the series between the Ducks and Flames, I have to say that I think Scott Niedermayer should be ranked right up there with, dare I say it...
		Jim, you're right about the Ducks most probably are going to run over the Avs, but I thought Calgary should have ended up as the winner in their first-round series.

		No, not covers as in those often overlooked pieces of art on the front of your cd, but cover songs.
		One of Canada's more obscure indie acts covers Canada's biggest indie darlings, and the result is a fun and quirky cover that, though it doesn't quite live up to the original's caliber, ends up being a really enjoyable track in its own way.
		Available on Bloc Party's excellent Silent Alarm Remixed album, it's actually not a remix at all; Cover song through and through (Maybe DFA1979 didn't get the memo that it was a remix-only album?), it's one of the strongest reworkings on the compilation and was one of the better songs of last year.

		In this moment in our history of increased security, and perhaps the risks of infringement of our rights, it seems appropriate to backtrack and recall that this is not entirely new -- not even for Galesburg.
		Galesburg's school system in the 50's was ''big'' into the ''duck and cover'' training for school children.
		But human nature hasn't changed much since I was in grade school at Allen Park in the 1950's, dutifully practicing my ''duck and cover'' skills on command.

		The biggest problems came from the unemployed youth of the middle class which had too much money to burn and not enough to do, they could be quite agressive.

		Of course the film appears comical today, but I do remember being cynical about the duck and cover drill back in 4th grade.
		I distinctly remember telling my desk partner (Pam) that I didn't think the drill would do any good if the bomb actually drops cause we'd all be killed anyway.
		Even more ludicrous are the governmental lies and denials--on the second sequence they state that "thousands of lives at Hiroshima could have been saved if they had known to 'Duck and Cover'"
