#1 In 1986, the nuclear physicist Stanislav Shushkevich thought the institute’s reactor was bleeding radiation. It was in people’s hair and clinging to their clothes. It was near danger levels at the front door.
#2 When someone finally called the institute to report an accident at Chernobyl, it was already too late. The graphite core of the massive, concrete-encased reactor had flashed to high-pressure steam in four seconds. The upper biological shield, which was made of concrete blocks, began to bubble and dance.
#3 The Chernobyl disaster was the result of two explosions in the space of less than four seconds, which blew open the reactor and its contents. The reactor was sealed within a metal tank filled with a mixture of helium and nitrogen to prevent the graphite moderator from burning.
#4 The Soviet Union had suffered 13 previous reactor accidents before the one at Chernobyl. Between 1964 and 1979, there were several fuel assembly fires at the Beloyarsk nuclear-power plant east of the Urals near Novosibirsk.

The story of how violence became a determinant of American life is also the story of how Americans came to define themselves as Americans, and how they defined themselves through the practice of systemic forms of violence against people they defined as not Americans.
#2
The term lynch law originated in the Revolutionary War, when the militia of Bedford County, Virginia, captured what they described as insurgent Tories. They whipped two of these enemy combatants and hanged a third, all without a trial or military tribunal.
#3
The first American lynch mobs were made up of militia officers who exceeded their authority and ordinary people who acted outside of the law. The first American lynchers were trying to control a minority ethnic population necessary for an economic staple, and they did so in a time of political crisis.
#4
The first American lynchers, the militia members in Bedford, justified their actions by claiming that the
