They did! Life was all set to publish a big edition about the Rad Lab
and the workers there as the unsung heros of the war until the of the atomic bomb. They replaced the Rad Lab edition
with a special
edition about the bomb and Los Alomos. Life later did a small article
about
a couple of the people at the Rad Lab but never
published the big one.
