Tired of seeing way, way, way too many books on wartime Manhattan's atomic death rays at your local library or friendly neighbourhood bookstore ?
Would you like to read instead of another wartime project from Manhattan ----- one that radiated hope and life , instead of death and destruction ?
Not convince that all wartime Manhattan Projects must come from Mars , and none from Venus ?
Then I have a forthcoming book just for you : "Life's Manhattan Project" ......
On Oct 16th 1940, Gotham's concrete jungle rescued the NATURAL penicillin stone its (British) builders had rejected and gave the world's first antibiotic shot. Alexander Fleming's ARTIFICIAL penicillin (ironically from leafy green Oxford !) won a Nobel but failed morally and technically. Instead Manhattan Natural radiated hope to a world tired, huddled and wretched. On its 75th, let's remind terrorist Ramzi Yousef about a Manhattan project that saved far more lives than the A-Bomb ever killed.
