That bit about purchasing titanium from the Soviet Union reminded me of a particularly bitter passage in book I once read, can't remember the title. The author claimed that the US government bought out Canadian uranium through shell companies, and allegedly, some Canadian scientists were really angry about the whole thing. Well, it was all very patriotic. From a moral standpoint though, it was all pretty awful for the Dene people and for the miners, who were not informed about the health risks.
