[ARC5] A Vital Atomic Instrument

[Michael Hanz]

Oh, no question.  I grew up on Sandia Base in Albuquerque and have been 
up to The Hill many times since then. One of the best books I've ever 
read about Los Alamos during the Oppenheimer years was written by the 
granddaughter of James B. Conant, who had tons of paper from her 
grandfather to draw on. It's entitled /109 East Palace/, by Jenet 
Conant, named for the only address that was used for the secret site.  
Everything went through that building for directions on how to get up to 
The Hill.  It is absolutely fascinating.  I got it years ago on Amazon 
as a Kindle book and am re-reading it before the movie comes out..
