Watch as related to BOMB
Amy suggests this resource about an opera on the Bomb project and lots of documentation at this site.
Fascinating!
Of course, the bombsight is such a minor player in the book, but I find this to be a fascinating corellary on unintended consequences.

Suggestions for new books
It's that time again when we pick new books! Please think about some of your favorites and send me (Emily) a list of ideas. We will pick books for the second half of the year at our July meeting. As always, please only suggest books you are very confident about promoting AND do a quick survey of the library holdings to ascertain that it is one we can feasibly get a hold of for free. Thanks!
