   They did! Life was all set to publish a big edition about the Rad Lab
and the workers there as the unsung heros of the war until the announcement
of the atomic bomb. They replaced the Rad Lab edition with a special
edition about the bomb and Los Alomos. Life later did a small article about
a couple of the people at the Rad Lab but never published the big one.
