102. Additional perspective (George Reeves)

In a continuing effort to provide those blog readers who were not around in 1958 with some perspective regarding what the landscape of America was like when Krishna Venta died, it must be noted that this coming June will mark the 50th anniversary of the death of actor George Reeves. The actor died within six month of the explosion that killed Krishna Venta, et al. From everything the moderator has heard and read, the day Reeves died was apparently a pretty traumatic one for the kids of America.

Those wanting to learn more about the life and death of George Reeves are encouraged to seek out Jan Alan Henderson's book Speeding Bullet, which is a much more responsible piece of journalism than is Hollywood Kryptonite.
