Tales Of Our Times: ‘Oppenheimer’ Movie Stirs A Mix Of Concerns In Differing Voices
Tales of our Times
By JOHN BARTLIT
Los Alamos
People are a mixed bag. All told, we view big problems from different perspectives. Our priorities differ. Issues involve a range of concerns. Issues change forms when people exchange their kits of beliefs, in hopes that their beliefs alone will prevail.
But you never know. Turns of phrasing come along, partly by chance, which yield notably opposite results. So many turns have ways to make matters worse. Yet, the next turn might remedy a persistent problem.
My column a month ago cited two national issues that have gotten worse with time. You might remember Read More

Los Alamos
Over the past few weeks, I have been showing some people how to throw pottery, to form it on the pottery wheel. It is an ancient process, made much easier by electric motors and premixed, homogenized clay.
The hardest thing for beginners to get is centering the clay, getting the clay perfectly balanced in the middle of the spinning wheel. It takes experience and feel for pressing in on the clay while also pressing down, so that the clay has no other place to go than into the center of the wheel head. Read More

Los Alamos
Get your pink on! Barbie has come to town. Greta Gerwig’s much-reviewed and highly rated film has been raking in ticket sales for a month, now, and it is finally showing in our town at SALA. Barbie is well worth your time. But be quick, as the film closes Thursday Aug. 31.
Across the nation and around many parts of the globe, people are coming to showings of Barbie dressed in pink or wearing outfits that Barbie might have worn. The first night at SALA, this was definitely the case in our audience. A party atmosphere pervaded the theater.
