The news today about ‘Atomic bombs’ is so horrifying one is stunned. The utter folly of these lunatic physicists to consent to do such work for war-purposes: calmly plotting the destruction of the world! Such explosives in men’s hands, while their moral and intellectual status is.

"The shelves of libraries are small and uncrowded, really. God grant room for such as me to be trapped between the kind shoulders of Verne and the sharp ribs of Kipling."--Ray Bradbury, 1968.
