latimes: Santa Monica may remove cartoonist Conrad’s sculpture: Paul Conrad’s “Chain Reaction” needs up to $423,000 in repairs but would cost just $20,000 to remove, staffers say. A panel urges that supporters get six months to raise restoration funds. Photo: “Chain Reaction” consists of a mushroom cloud fashioned out of dark chains. It is made of copper tubing over a fiberglass core and stainless steel frame. Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez / Los Angeles Times I love this sculpture! I’d gladly chip in to keep it.It’s right across the street from the RAND Corp building. RAND is the think tank that gave us the idea of “mutually assured destruction”, so I can’t imagine a better place for this sculpture. I’d be sad to see it go.

I love this sculpture! I’d gladly chip in to keep it.

It’s right across the street from the RAND Corp building. RAND is the think tank that gave us the idea of “mutually assured destruction”, so I can’t imagine a better place for this sculpture. I’d be sad to see it go.
