htm. This is the famous minority report, written one month before<br />

the first successful test <strong>of</strong> the atomic bomb at the Trinity site in<br />

New Mexico, in which seven scientists, most <strong>of</strong> who worked on the<br />

Manhattan Project, recommended against the use <strong>of</strong> the atomic<br />

bomb on Japan, <strong>and</strong> predicted a dangerous post-war nuclear arms<br />

race. According to the Web document “The Uncensored Franck<br />

Report (1945–1946)”, <strong>by</strong> Alex Wellerstein, dated 11 January 2012,<br />

the original report was censored in at least eight places; <strong>of</strong> those,<br />

seven have since been recovered, <strong>and</strong> at least one sentence exists,<br />

but has been blacked out <strong>by</strong> government censors.<br />
