Abstract
It's June 20, 1995. Our senses sated with nouvelle cuisine and fine art, we drive into New Mexico from Santa Fe to the Bandelier State Park cliff dwellings. The Anasazi Indian story has been lost to history: even their name is not their own; it means “ancient enemy” in Navaho. The scenery, echoing the songs of ghosts, is spectacular and pristine. Not quite, for the road butts against the Los Alamos Laboratories, a different history indeed. We drive to Los Alamos and visit its sterile museum, listening to official histories. Then we stop at the Los Alamos Ranch School for boys. Hereabouts dwells the ghost of Trinity and Oppenheimer, nearer to us in history, tragic as well, certainly more ironic, than the Anasazi.
