A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Person after person has said to me in these last few days that this new world we face terrifies them. I can understand how that feeling would arise unless one believes that men are capable of greatness beyond their past achievements. The times have usually brought us a leader when we needed him. The times now call for mankind as a whole to rise to great heights.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1945-08-10), “My Day”

„Iran wirft keine Atombombe auf Israel“ - Punkt.PRERADOVIC mit Ramon Schack
Iran perhaps to leave the NPA (Non proliferation act).
"Iran says parliament is preparing bill to leave nuclear non-proliferation treaty"
A treaty Israel has not signed, of course.
What if We Nuke a City?
📽️ "Cloak and Dagger," dir. Fritz Lang (Warner Bros., 1946), is good as a thriller and as a war film. Unfortunately, it never develops its initial premise, the international race to develop the atomic bomb.

> I received this rose as a bare root—a body disconnected from the soil. When I brought it through the airport in my luggage, I was anxious because it had a little label that read, “Atom Bomb.” I realized, then, that Rosa floribunda “Atom Bomb” was inherently political — not only in its name but also in terms of how it moves around the planet.
