Biography

Michael Terry was individually named among four antinuclear protesters who actually began serving jail sentences in Nevada on September 5, 1986, for their May 20 back-country effort to halt a nuclear test. The September 18 contemporary report specifies nominal twenty-day sentences. Their individual actual multi-night confinement is established, but it does not report an actual completion or release day. Neither May 20 protest arrest nor a twenty-day arithmetic forecast is substituted for the September prison admission.
