Nuke Pop

   This site chronicles the popular culture reaction to the Nuclear
   Age, beginning with the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and
   Nagasaki and follows it through to the "Atom-age Nostalgia" of the
   1990s. It is illustrated with comic book covers and sequences,
   movie stills, record album covers, and other material from the
   times. A personal site from Paul Brians, Professor of English,
   Washington State University, using images from his personal
   collection.

No More Hiroshima Earrings

   This article from 1999 describes how "an American museum has
   stopped selling earrings in the shape of the nuclear bombs dropped
   on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945." Includes an image of the
   earrings, which are miniature replicas of "Little Boy" and "Fat
   Man," the atomic bombs dropped in August 1945 on those cities in
   Japan. From the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
