In 1961, President John F. Kennedy urged Americans to build shelters to protect their families.<\/p>\n<p>Though the Cold War ended in the 1990s with the collapse of the Soviet Union, a demand for bomb shelters has never really dried up. No doubt bolstered by recent fears about North Korea, companies like Atlas Survival Shelters in Montebello, Calif., continue to run a robust business.<\/p>\n<p>What does that say about us, today?<\/p>\n<p>Peter Westwick, adjunct assistant professor (research) of history at USC Dornsife, will try to get at an answer as part of the &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/icw\/underla\/\">Under L.A.: Subterranean Stories<\/a>&rdquo; conference on Nov. 11 on USC&rsquo;s University Park campus. The one-day public event, which takes place from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Doheny Memorial Library, Room 240, will bring together experts on earthquakes, cemeteries, tar pits, L.A. subculture, insects and more to explore the question of what we can learn about our past and future by looking down instead of up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-image-landscape news-image-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/UnderLA2b-2698.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape Right\"><\/p>\n<p>The caption for this June 20, 1960, photo reads &#8220;Mrs. Robert McConnell and son Robert Jr. peer into strange 14 foot cave-in in backyard of their home at 216 N.
