My first reaction of the paper today is something of a surprise. There was a lot of detailed information published the day of the announcement regarding the development of the bomb, where it was built, and the like. Much more than I would have expected for immediate release of such a closely held secret. I wonder if the news people had not been given some advance notice.

The other thing I notice is how quickly people realized that the world had fundamentally changed forever but this one event.

Look at the story on p. 6. The Government had been briefing the New York Times' science reporter for months, so that he could explain everything once the secret was out.
