E.L. Doctorow Quotes
In Those Days, This Was Years For The Sputnik Thing, It Was Customary To Downgrade The Russians' Science. People Who Know Something About Those Things Didn't Make That Mistake. But At The Level Of Time Magazine The Joke Was How They Copied Everything And Claimed It For Their Own. Well, Of Course The Corollary Of That Is That It's Our Bomb They Have And That Means We Were Betrayed. After The War Our Whole Foreign Policy Depended On Our Having The Bomb And The Soviets Not Having It. It Was A Terrible Miscalculation. It Militarized The World. And When They Got It The Only Alternative To Admitting Our Bankruptcy Of Leadership And National Vision Was To Find Conspiracies. It Was One Or The Other.
