WILD RELEASE NOTES:
As August 6 is the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, I plan to leave this by Henry Moore's Nuclear Energy sculpture, on Ellis Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets.
This is near the site of the first self-sustaining, controlled nuclear chain reaction, which occurred in a squash court under the bleachers of the now-demolished Stagg Field. (Regenstein Library is there now.)
