    I’m not going to lie, I could barely get through that article due to the formatting. Was this someone’s outline that they submitted by accident? Why were quotes in bullet points? What was with the flashback/big picture/zoom forward nonsense? I’d like to learn more about the people forgotten in the aftermath of the Los Alamos experiments, but that article didn’t say anything of substance!
