Route 66, that fabled American highway, both boomed and faded from use during the Cold War era, but remains a powerful symbol of this country's restless spirt that began over well over 200 years ago and continues even today. And along Route 66 are many relics of a time long gone but not forgotten. Tucumcari is one such relic, a ghost town slowly vanishing into the desert, but full of revenants both corperal and physical.

Delivering The Bomb: Deaths Upon Deaths
Before the world's first two atomic bombs could be dropped on target in Japan, they had to be delivered to the bombers who would actually fly the missions. The <i>USS Indianapolis</i>, a US Navy heavy cruiser, just after delivering the bomb components to Tinian, near the coast of Japan, went down with two IJN torpedoes in her hull. Many survived the sinking. Then the sharks came.
