They also tell what was done with the site after the test and how it became a national historic landmark. - Summary by david wales

“We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal ONE.
