Dear Ih. Hendry',

I enclose herexrith an article, "Turkey 3'ill Cause Cancer,'~ that appeezed in a community ne~rspaper, the KK<D~SOUTH IKEAl'Q NEfS, Fionday, I~iazch 9, 1981.'ou'l see that it ml.ates to the issue of Three Ihle Island that I discussed m my I~ch 3 letter."

Query:

Doesn't this article suggest that the nuclear turkeys are playing chicken arith our lives?

Is there any a<ay to turn these events into serious laughter that may counteract the cancers i.e'll contract, by right o-by golly, by design or willy-nilly, as ve pay for lighting/po:rering our.homes and actories to gain one of he highest standards of 1'ving in the irorld'P Your perspectives~
