Key Figure in Atomic Bomb Dies
ASSOCIATED PRESS

"LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) -- Norris Bradbury, who led the team that
assembled the first atomic bomb and went on to head Los Alamos National
Laboratory longer than any other person, has died. He was 88."

  ..............

"But his stewardship also had its critics. In "The Myths of August," a
1994 book critical of the government's handling of atomic bomb-making
over the years, former congressman and Interior Secretary Stewart Udall
described Bradbury as a key figure behind large atomic blasts in Nevada
that exposed the so-called downwinders to high levels of radiation."
