and the strata of Vietnam, and Nagasaki, Hiroshima, these shimmering/shattered/stuttered sites - a book I recommend (there are so many), The Legacy of Hiroshima, Its Past, Our Future, Naomi Shohno, Kosei, Tokyo, 1986. Also the classic in the field, Lifton's Death in Life, Survivors of Hiroshima, 1968. We think we 'know it all,' we need reminders, now more than ever.

thank you for striking images, sounds and the writing. Alan. out of sky a lot of things have fallen it seems, i cannot articulate fear except fear for (the people in Korea and all affected by the leader of the North and his military who are testing their atomic bombs, and the people who are concerned, the neighbors, the people inside the country (who are threatened as much); the other leader of the north (US) used a phrase, in the German translation, with dire biblical ring, he would react to N. Korean bombs with"Feuer, Wut und Macht, wie die Welt es so noch nicht gesehen hat" which I translate as with"Fire, Wrath and Might, as the world has never seen before". The leader of the North (US) here seems to echo Harry S Truman in his 1945 address before the US dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima; Truman also spoke of a rain of total destruction from the air. In this context, I shall repeat what I proposed yesterday, that the war is not over; when one looks at the Korean War in the early 1950s, it is believed that more than 4.5 million Koreans died, and many cities were nearly entirely destroyed. Napalm was used by US and UN military forces that fought back the North Korean invasion of the South, and the cold war there (China also becoming involved) seems not to have ended in any solution to the crisis, and Korea remains a divided land. are these further strata? and are we witnessing "furious the leaders square off in their squares"?
