RIP Frederik Pohl (November 26, 1919 – September 2, 2013).

A great writer, the last giant from the Golden Age of Science Fiction, and always a critical voice.
Important works include the Gateway books, Man Plus, and The Space Merchants. The latter (written in collaboration with Cyril M. Kornbluth) is especially interesting today for its views on the power of large companies over politics.
Thank you for many great books, and say "hi" to Cyril.

I'll have to look this up. I've never heard of any of that.

Seeing as a couple of you seem to know Pohls' work a bit better than I do, maybe I can pick your brains?
Years ago I read a short story, I am sure it was by Pohl, about a post-apocalyptic Earth, where there were pools of radioactive waste that dissolved bones. I cannot remember the name of the story, or which collection of short stories it was in. If any of you know or have an idea where I might find this story, it would be much appreciated.
