View of Los Angeles City Hall the evening of February 22, 1955. The clock in the Los Angeles Times newspaper building in the lower left foreground reads 5:45 p.m. and the sky to the right of the City Hall tower is lighted as the result of a nuclear blast test in Nevada. (Isn’t it scary how (a) how many nuclear blasts there were in the 50s, and (b) how they could light up the sky in L.A., and (c) how unconcerned Angelenos seemed to be about them.)
