Faith is a word that occasionally confuses me.

For the life of me I can’t think of what I could have filled up a 10 minute oral report on J. Robert Oppenheimer or rather, how I could’ve limited. What was my focus? Manhattan project? McCarthy Trials? Bridge between theoretical physics and engineering? His school? Misunderstood genius trope? No idea. Maybe it’s because he helped turn it all into a reality and the dangers of unleashing something you can no longer control. [nuclear arms race]. Yes, it’s probably the arms race. 1987/88, June 12, 1987. “Mr. Gorbachev – tear down this wall.” , Peristroika, hope.
