Commitment, Complacency in Hiroshima
Sixty years after the U.S. shattered the city with an atomic bomb, there is an uneasy sense that Japan's pacifist voice has become shaky with age.By Bruce Wallace and Hisako Ueno, Times Staff Writers
HIROSHIMA, Japan — Heads bowed in prayer and memory, the citizens of this self-styled City of Peace fell silent at 8:15 local time this morning, 60 years from the instant of the atomic flash that vaporized the heart of their city and dragged mankind over the precipice into the nuclear age.Temple bells that had been ringing for the dead stopped to mark the moment when an American B-29 bomber dropped its atomic cargo over Hiroshima, killing 70,000 people on the spot from concussion and fire and debris. Another 70,000 died within months from the effects of radiation.

Secret film of Hiroshima scene to air
By Sadia LatifiKnight Ridder Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Sixty years after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, a film documenting the aftermath is reminding Americans about the horrors of nuclear war.
Footage from a U.S. government-produced film, labeled top secret and kept out of public view for decades, is included in "Original Child Bomb," a documentary that will air on many cable stations starting today, the 60th anniversary of the day Hiroshima, Japan, became the first city to suffer an atomic attack.
Its release on the Sundance Channel is the culmination of years of effort to bring the government footage before a large U.S. audience. It will be the most-extensive exposure yet of the long-suppressed footage in the United States.
