...inhabitants were not born when the white flash blinded the city. But they still gather to remember. Some 40,000 assembled last week in the peace park, and at 8:15 a.m.-the hour at which the whale-shaped bomb dropped from the Enola Gay-a bell tolled to signal a moment of silent prayer.

The board's latest tightening of monetary policy, he said, was merely intended to signal to the financial community that "a major relaxation of money supply" is not under way. That explanation brought a blast from Committee Chairman Henry Reuss, who wondered why the board did not simply announce its intentions instead of maneuvering in such an arcane fashion that interest rates did rise, thus delivering "a clout on the nose of the economic system...
