Quotation | Finishing at the same time the [Edward] Teller book. Legacy of Hiroshima. His convincing myth of the tactical nuclear weapon. And there may be something to this. As opposed to the awful and deadly myth of the megatomic weapon. Missiles: note the war between the God of heaven and the God of the hurricane - the storm god, who hurls thunderbolts. |
