Pulitzer-prize winning journalist George Weller snuck into Nagasaki and wrote a series of articles on the devastation in that city just a month after we dropped the atom bomb. The articles were never published, and Army censors never even returned the originals to Weller, but Weller's son found carbon copies of the articles last summer. Now Japanese daily Mainichi is running
excerpts from those stories. What an awful weapon. A little more background on Weller is in
this article at CNN.com.
