...nevertheless an American Negro, 1 was outraged by your reporting of the Congo massacre, with your sophomoric generalizations on the savagery of the blacks on the African continent. If Americans were able to remember their own history, they would find these Simbas no more savage than those responsible for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Perhaps one day when the white people of the West, and particularly the whites of America, can become true humanitarians, then the African states can bemoan the bestiality at Stanleyville...
...China can probably deliver a bomb a lot sooner than the five to ten years that U.S. officials first believed it would take. The U.S. moved from "explosion" at Alamogordo to bomb over Hiroshima in less than three weeks.

Peking's 275 Russian-built IL-28 bombers are capacious enough to carry such bombs to targets up to 600 miles...

Such a device is more effective than shooting two chunks of fissionable material toward each other in an apparatus like a gun barrel, as was done in the U.S. bomb exploded over Hiroshima. The U.S. also used the implosion method in its earliest nuclear weapons. Although a surprising number of commentators assumed that use of implosion showed advanced skill by the Chinese, the AEC did not agree.

JUDY: Consider Helene, portrayed at least with warmth and flexibility by Delphine Seyrig. Unlike Emmanuelle Riva--the Woman in Hiroshima, Jake--Miss Seyrig speaks not only to the audience but to the other characters on the screen as well. Our viewpoint never manages to penetrate the inscrutable consciousness...
