The Times: On Aug. 8, The Times printed an article by John Burgess, who recounted the emotions he felt whUe visiting Hiroshima, where the nuclear bomb was first use<!. He tells of the horrible destruction let loose, which leveled the city in an hour and killed 140,000 in four months. He called it "the day an enormous evil was brought into our world," and the day the world "lost tts virginity." No new evil was introduced to mankind that day. Only a new machine bringing more carnage. I am not writing to belittle the horrors of the first atom bomb. However, if Mr. Burgess thought these horrors were new to Earth, he must look beyond Hiroshima. In 1945, American and Eng­ lish planes firebombed the city of Dresden, Germany. This is one or our better-hidden atrocities. The bombs were dropped, resulting in the death of 135,000 people in two months. I am not yet out of high school, and I shudder when I think of the responsibility my generation will face when it inherits the nudear legacy. Yet 1 bear no grudge against Einstein or Oppenheimer or the other creators or the atom bomb. The bomb simply makes us more efficient at killing each other. Yes, as Mr. Burgess said, hell is not the split atom, or gunpowder, or the spear. That hell ts our willingness to use these weapons on others. That hell ts us. - Andrew BlackweJJ, Seattle Each month, The Seaute Times' editorial staff selects the bet;t letter to the editor.
