...Referring to your inaccurate article "How They Found the Bomb" [May 13], this should set the record straight. With due credit to Sandia for its highly professional efforts and to the Spanish witnesses ashore, had we adhered to their imprecise estimates, the location of the bomb would have been delayed at least a month and more likely several months. The hundreds of bits of information and suggestions received from people in the U.S. and Europe were appreciated and evaluated carefully. But the plaudits for this highly successful operation properly belong to the patriotic civilian and military personnel...
...morning." Roseboro's own roommate, Dodger Shortstop Maury Wills, insists that Juan Marichal is "a nice guy-and a great individual." He is that all right. He is the grinning practical joker who passes around a perfume vial labeled "Apple Blossom," which actually is a stink bomb. He is the "Dominican Dandy" who dresses all in blue and cream.

Moreover, Phillips' full catalogue of Truman's presidential faults seriously undercuts his basic proposition. He concludes, in retrospect, that the Hiroshima bomb was probably unnecessary-Japan was already suing for peace. He admits that the Potsdam agreements encouraged Soviet imperialism. He blames Truman for an unconscionably rapid postwar demobilization, for a bankrupt China policy, and for all the domestic sins that critics have laid at Truman's door: government by crony, incompetence and corruption in Government, and "the disease of McCarthyism, which began-and got out of hand -while he was in the White House...
