As a young scout I was taught to be prepared.
That was healthy.
Duck and cover in school because the Russians might come was paranoia. (To say nothing of stupid and useless.)
For the young folks here, back in the early 1950s we were so convinced the Russians would bomb us, and that somehow we might actually survive a nuclear attack, that they taught little school kids to duck under their school desks. That was paranoia.
