Opera on the A-Bomb

Thought this was interesting. The composer John Adams, who also wrote Nixon in China, a reasonably well known contemporary opera, has written a piece that deals with the Manhattan Project (which came up with the a-bomb) and its director, J. Robert Oppenheimer. It's called "Doctor Atomic"

You can read the story here.

Maybe a change is in order. "Dr. Atomic" does sound alot cooler than "Dr. T". Maybe I should pick a cooler nickname. Any suggestions?
