...And to round out the experience, a book entitled 'Prospecting for Uranium' was included, with details of a US government initiative that paid $10,000 (equivalent to almost £90,000 today) if little Jimmy discovered any uranium deposits in the garden.


Yeah, but what made it seriously dangerous was the small post-it note from Kim Il-sung stating "whatever figure's quoted in that book, I'll double it."
