| | Terrorism: Q & A Making a Bomb |
| | Building a nuclear bomb is not easy, experts say, although the consequences of terrorists&; doing so could be so devastating that the problem is worth worrying about. | | | The team would also need machine tools—most or all of which are available commercially—to cast and shape the weapon& nuclear core. | | | Would-be bomb makers would require money, a base from which to work, and specialized equipment. |

| | Edwards--The Closed World--Chapter 1 |
| | Its major military weapon, the atomic bomb, became the cultural representative of apocalypse, an all-or-nothing, world-consuming flame whose ultimate horizon encircled all conflict and restructured its meaning. | | | Like other elements of the post-World War II high-technology arsenal, such as the atomic bomb, the long-range jet bomber, and the intercontinental ballistic missile, computers served not only as military devices and tools of policy analysis but as icons and metaphors in the cultural construction of the Cold War. | | | The OSD literally micromanaged the bombing campaign, specifying the exact targets to be attacked, weather conditions under which missions must be canceled or flown, and even the precise qualifications of individual pilots. |

| | The Atomic Cafe: The Cult Movie Up Close and Personal by Jayne Loader |
| | Propaganda about the atomic bomb was only a part of the larger picture, as far as we were concerned, and our first efforts as filmmakers reflected this lack of focus. | | | The atomic bomb hasn't gone away, people are still building them, the French are starting to test them again, and there's always the possibility, given all of that, that someone will decide to use one. | | | This piece was adapted from a speech at "The Atomic Age Opens: American Culture Confronts the Bomb," a conference at Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio, July 13-15, 1995, where Jayne shared the podium with Robert Jay Lifton, Jane Caputi, and--gasp!--Dr. Edward Teller. |

| | The atomic bomb is an explosive device that depends upon the release of energy in a nuclear reaction known as fission, which is the splitting of atomic nuclei. | | | An artificial radioactive element with atomic number 95 (symbol Am), produced in nuclear explosions and reactors; emits alpha particles. | | | Atomic number is often symbolized with the letter Z and is shown as a numerical subscript to the left of its chemical symbol. |

| | Capitalism Magazine: The Morality of Dropping the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by Thomas Sowell |
| | The guilt-mongers have twisted the facts of history beyond recognition in order to say that it was unnecessary to drop those atomic bombs. | | | The alternative to the atomic bombs was an invasion of Japan, which was already being planned for 1946, and those plans included casualty estimates even more staggering than the deaths that have left a sea of crosses in American cemeteries at Normandy and elsewhere. | | | Every August, there are some Americans who insist on wringing their hands over the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, so it was perhaps inevitable that such people would have an orgy of wallowing in guilt on the 60th anniversary of that tragic day. |

| | Use the Atomic Bomb |
| | Though Stimson considered a warning combined with an offer of terms and backed up by the sanction of the atomic bomb as the most promising means of inducing surrender at any early date, there were other courses that some thought might produce the same result. | | | It is equally difficult to assert categorically that the atomic bomb alone or Soviet intervention alone was the decisive factor in bringing the war to an end. | | | For a variety of reasons, including uncertainty as to whether the bomb would work, it had been decided that the Japanese should not be warned of the existence of the new weapon. |
