I can't help myself. I still think it's worth bringing up,
even for the 64th time. I'm talking, of course, about the atomic obliteration,
at the end of a terrible, world-rending war, of two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
on August 6 and 9, 1945, whose anniversaries - if that's even the appropriate
word for it - are once again upon us.
