| 0:10 | Harry S. Truman: "The atom bomb has been used as a parallel with Pandora's Box." Mr. Truman recounts the story of Pandora's curiosity that caused her to open the box releasing malice, hate, and all bad things affecting mankind. Mr. Truman remarks that you never hear the part of the story that tells how Pandora opened the box a second time letting out a butterfly representing hope. "That gave everybody a chance to face the difficulties that had been turned loose from the box in the first place." | |
