The blast, the Japanese people are told by a U.S. radio broadcast the next day, was a fearful new weapon, the atomic bomb.

Shulman's invention is just a bit more than a pipedream. The human brain insistently finds patterns where none exist. With this in mind, Shulman built his toy, a circular arrangement of Christmas-tree lights. Plugged in, they flash on and off in colors-red, yellow and blue-but in no rhythmic pattern. Still, the mesmerized viewer, if he turns on some music, may discover a pattern that matches the music's beat. If that happens, off he goes on a drugless trip.
