Washington Evening Star editorial on 25th anniversaries of U.S. dropping of atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki: "We can never know what might have happened if the terrible reality of the death of two Japanese cities had not branded itself on the collective consciousness of man. We know only that since August 9, 1945, the two greatest powers of the world have repeatedly confronted one another with mutual suspicion and distrust. And we know that, regardless of conflicting ideologies and interests, the superpowers have both been guided by one overriding principle: Nuclear war is not acceptable." (W Star, 8/8/70, A4)
