“The splitting of the atom has changed everything except the way we think. Thus we drift toward unparalleled catastrophe. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.”… “To the Village Square… we must carry the facts of atomic energy, from there must come America’s voice.” -Albert Einstein, June 1946
