He reviews several new cultural events that deal with the history of the atomic age, including Doctor Atomic, the new opera from American minimalist composer John Adams. It's about moral dilemmas that faced J Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist whose Manhattan Project created the first atomic bomb. It was a role in history that Oppenheimer had many misgivings about.
