Here are paritial contents of the letter dated the March 1939 letter, 4
months BEFORE
'the' letter that launched the arms race  in August 2nd 1939:

'experiments in the physics laboratories at columbia university reveal
that conditions may be found under which the chemical element uranium
may be able to liberate its large excess of atomic energy, and 
that this might mean the possibility that uranium might be used as an
explosive that would liberate a million times as much energy per pound
as any known explosive.'

The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable,
to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, 
and challenge the unchallengeable.
