So sudden was this first attack that there was no time to sound air-raid warnings, and before thousands of pedestrians and motorists on the streets could be herded indoors, the skies were raining shrapnel. Over 125 were killed, including 70 children playing in the grounds of a schoolhouse. Three Bombs fell...

Some years ago he perceived that when a nuclear impact knocks a neutron and a positron out of an electron, there is a mysterious disappearance of energy.
