Moniker @ 91.

Will have to check out the book you mention.

While attending a seminar at Stanford, a Japanese woman and her American husband joined our table in the crowded cafeteria.

My friend and I left to attend Dr. Edward Teller’s lecture. During the lecture he was agonizing over whether we should have provided a demonstration of the power of the bomb. (He said we had more than two.) At that point that same woman stood up and said, “I was in Hiroshima the day the bomb was dropped. You did the right thing!”

A very powerful statement I’ll never forget!
