Los Alamos, NM, circa 1943

Props to my old pal Mike Lord for discovering this. IIrc, kids born in Los Alamos during the Project all have the same Santa Fe post office box as their "residence."

As late as the mid-'50s, there were still manned machine-gun posts around the perimeter, and a gate manned by armed MPs.

n 1943, the top scientists from the United States and other nations gathered in Los Alamos, NM for the Manhattan Project. Among them was physicist Hugh Bradner. With informal permission from the U.S. Army, he shot a collection of home movies of life in a place that officially didn't exist, and of people working on a project that ultimately changed history.

Sir Barry, AFBP: ALWAYS Much LESS Than Meets the Eye

As with EVERYTHING "Barack," the mortgage abuse settlement announced last week, touted to help "underwater homeowners" escape the toils of Bankstah-induced foreclosures, is far less helpful to citizens than either the announced remedies or the extended consequences would lead one to believe.

America's First Black President ("AFBP") appears to be pulling a new version of the old "shuck-'n'-jive," with the lives and futures of citizens inveigled into home-loans they had NO CHANCE of ever repaying, and against whose ability to repay the loans the bankstahs were betting, short...
