...precarious nuclear stalemate come about? For a generation, historians have been digging through the records of scientists and decision makers. Now, drawing on newly declassified documents, Princeton Historian Martin J. Sherwin has written a dispassionate, richly detailed account that promises, for the present at least, to be the definitive book on the formation of atomic-energy policy during World...
From the start of the Manhattan Project, says Sherwin, it was clear that an atomic bomb would be an awesome force in the postwar world. Franklin Roosevelt faced two basic options.

Or he could keep it a secret between the U.S. and Britain-which was in on the project all along-to ensure the two countries' diplomatic and military advantage...
...beard looked a little suspicious from the start, and the chest hairs were certainly of dubious origin. No wonder, since the face behind the 5 o'clock shadow belonged to Actress Karen Black, 33, who had dressed up as a male homosexual for a film by Sherwin Tilton, 22, a student at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.

Sherwin was convicted for seeking a kickback from a highway contractor...

This three-hour picaresque story (again photographed by Ondricek) grew out of a semi-autobiographical comedy Malcolm McDowell, the star of the film, wrote about his early years as a traveling coffee salesman. Anderson and David Sherwin went to work on enlarging McDowell's comedy into a major work. They extended McDowell's ideas into a string of improbable events which eventually present Malcolm McDowell's success -- his rise from coffee salesman to actor -- as a paradigm for humanity. Yet, despite the writers' attempts at universalizing McDowell, the main...
