The picaresque novel "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me" by Richard Farina (classmate of Tom Pynchon's) has an incredible scene where a traveling student drinks martinis in Vegas with rich oilmen as they watch the bombs go off before dawn. At first I thought this was pure fiction, but it's incredible to know that scene was based on a terrifying reality.
