Alphabet People

The WWII Manhattan Project Hanford site workforce lived in the village of Richland, WA in letter designated housing.

The Alphabet People lived in government-owned housing, shopped in government-designed shopping areas, and were entertained by government-sponsored events designed to keep people happy in a place where "Silence is Security" and "Blabatours are Sabatours."
