Mamaroneck, New York: Paul P. Appel, 1977. Octavo. 311p. Originally, published in 1952 GO is generally recognized as the first Beat Generation novel. It appeared five years before On the Road and provides the first genuine picture of the Beats before they began their publishing career. His characters are based on graphic portrayals of Kerouac (called Pasternak) , Ginsberg (called Stofsky, Neal Cassady along with lost girls, junkies, thieves and hipsters. Essential for understanding the origin of the Beats by one who was one of them. His book became scarce immediately and was virtually suppressed since those who bought the rights to it felt they would face censorship issues. It captures what was the Beat scene in New York in a way that still reminds us of that world where conventional morals and lifestyle were not recognized but disregarded as relics of the past as consciousness and honesty was explored relentlessly by a young Kerouac and Ginsberg.

Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. 31 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting, stimulation of tight gas, chemical element manufacture, probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust, creating reflection seismology Vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting. The project's uncharacteristically large and atmospherically vented Sedan nuclear test also led geologists to determine that Barringer crater was formed as a result of a meteor impact and not from a volcanic eruption. Negative impacts from Project Plowshare's tests generated significant public opposition, which eventually led to the program's termination in 1977. These consequences included fallout from radioactive material before underground testing was mandated by treaty., United States Energy Research and Development Administration, Office of Public Affairs, Technical Information Center, 1975, 2.5, PN.
