What the men in the funny suits found was that the potting shed was dangerousl irradiated and that the area's 40,000 residents could be at risk. Publicly, the men in white promised the residents of Golf Manor that they had nothing to fear, and to this day neither Pease nor any of the dozen or so people I interviewed knows the real reason that the Environmental Protection Agency briefly invaded their neighborhood. When asked, most mumble something about a chemical spill.

The truth is far more bizarre: the Golf Manor Superfund cleanup was provoked by
the boy next door, David Hahn, who attempted to build a nuclear breeder reactor
in his mother's potting shed as part of a Boy Scout merit-badge project.

I have a new hero.
