A sour view of things, I grant you; but one borne out by the history of our age and of the age to come, when Trinity – not the Christians’ but Oppenheimer’s – will turn Alamogordo sand to glass. In the future, dead cities will molder behind rusting thorns no prince can ever penetrate; dirty bombs will engender tribes of lepers – not by germs, but by deadly atoms; and radioactive isotopes will be left to cool for an age or more, sealed in burial chambers with a pharaoh’s curse.
