Just like a lot of other americans, john wayne died of cancer. but is there more to this story? in 1955, wayne was in utah shooting a film. across the state line, in nevada, the united states military was testing atomic bombs. radioactive fallout from those tests drifted across the filming location. a total of 46 of the 220 people working on the film eventually died of cancer. cancer experts estimate that one would expect only about 30 cancer deaths in a group this size. is the death rate among the movie crew unusually high? does this prove that exposure to radiation increases the risk of cancer?

In 1955, john wayne played genghis khan in a movie called the conqueror. it was not an artistic success. more unfortunately , the movie was filmed downwind of the site of 11 previous aboveground nuclear bomb tests. of the 240 people who worked on this movie, 105 had been diagnosed with cancer by the early 1980s, including wayne, his costars, and the director. according to large-scale epidemiological data, only about 16% of people of this age group, on average, should have been stricken with cancer within this time frame. we want to know whether there is evidence for an increased cancer risk for people associated with this film. assume that this probability is the same for each member of the cast.

Apopular novel of the '60s ended prophetically with its description of a "kindly, pleasant, greening land about to learn whether history still has a place for a nation so strangely composed of great ideals and uneasy compromise as she.” that is really the question before us tonight: for the first time in our memory many americans are asking: does history still have a place for america, for her people, for her great ideals? there are some who answer "no”; that our energy is spent, our days of greatness at an end, that a great national malaise is upon us. they say we must cut our expectations, conserve and withdraw, that we must tell our children . . not to dream as we once dreamed. last year i lost a friend who was more than a symbol of the hollywood dream industry; to millions he was a symbol of our country itself. and when he died, the headlines seemed to convey all the doubt about america, all the nostalgia for a seemingly lost past. "the last american hero,” said one headline; "mr. america dies,” said another. well, i knew john wayne well, and no one would have been angrier at being called the "last american hero.” just before his death, he said in his own blunt way, "just give the american people a good cause, and there’s nothing they can’t lick.” duke wayne did not believe that our country was ready for the dust bin of history, and if we’ll just think about it we too will know it isn’t. which ideas from the excerpt would be most appropriate to include in a summary? select three options. popular novels from the past often ask provocative questions that are important to consider today. many americans have given up and say that the nation is no longer great or a land of dreams. john wayne, nicknamed duke, was an iconic hollywood actor and filmmaker. president reagan believed that john wayne would argue that he was not the last american hero, because there are many more. duke wayne died as a symbol of the hollywood dream industry.
