But There Is No Joy In Mudville

Let Us Cherish The Hope That The Day Is Not Far Distant When We Will Be In The Midst Of This Next Adventure.

From The Beginning Of The Radiation Laboratory, I Have Had The Rare Good Fortune Of Being In The Center Of A Group Of Men Of High Ability, Enthusiastic And Completely Devoted To Scientific Pursuits.

The Day When The Scientist, No Matter How Devoted, May Make Significant Progress Alone And Without Material Help Is Past. This Fact Is Most Self-evident In Our Work.

We Have Reached The Age, Those Of Us To Whom Fortune Has Assigned A Post In Life's Struggle, When Beaten And Smashed And Biffed By The Lashing Of The Dragon's Tail, We Begin To Appreciate That The Old Man Was Not Such A Fool After All.

We Have Hit The Dragon On The Head And We Have Seen The Dragon Smile.
