the motel was about two miles from campus. I walked out there along the edge of the road. Fragments of glass flared1 in the sun. I passed a number of dead animals, just scraps2 of fur now, small pieces of flesh completely macadamized, part of the highway. Finally I reached the motel. It was a gray bunding, barely distinguishable from the land around it. Major Staley had been staying there since the school year began. I didn't know what kind of car the major drove so I went into the office 'and got his room number from an old woman halfasleep over a bowl of Shredded3 Wheat. The major had a towel in his hands when he came to the door. He was wearing his uniform trousers and shirt, the shirt unbuttoned and outside the pants, sleeves rolled up around the forearms. Some blue ROTC manuals were stacked on a table. Above the bed was a threedimensional picture of mountains.
"Wife and kids are still up in Colorado. I sure as hell miss them. I hope to have them down here real soon now. Our house should be ready in ten days. I've lived in more places than, a stray cat."
"There's a kind of theology at work here. The bombs are a kind of god. As his power grows, our fear naturally increases. I get as apprehensive4 as anyone else, maybe more so. We have too many bombs. They have too many bombs. There's a kind of theology of fear that comes out of this. We begin to capitulate to the overwhelming presence. It's so powerful. It dwarfs5 us so much. We say let the god have his way. He's so much more powerful than we are. Let it happen, whatever he ordains6. It used to be that the gods punished men by using the forces of nature against them or by arousing them to take up their weapons and destroy each other. Now god is the force of nature itself, the fusion7 of tritium and deuterium. Now he's the weapon. So maybe this time we went too far in creating a being of omnipotent8 power. All this hardware. Fantastic stockpiles of hardware. The big danger is that we'll surrender to a sense of inevitability9 and start flinging mud all over the planet."
"We're talking about a onemegaton device. All right, you're standing10 nine miles from ground zero. If it's a clear day, you get seconddegree burns. Guaranteed. One hundred megs, you may as well forget it. If you were seventyfive miles out, you'd still get seconddegree. Depending on the variables, your house might even ignite. That's just the first flash. After that comes the firestorm, like Tokyo, like Hamburg, like Dresden, like Hiroshima. Structurally11 the older cities in the U.S. are very susceptible12 to firestorms. Building density13 is high and combustible14 material per building is high. Tucson might escape a firestorm. New York, Baltimore, Boston—forget it. Nagasaki didn't get too much burn. They had a low density and the wind was blowing right. Hamburg was something else. Hamburg was a hot place to be. Over a thousand degrees Fahrenheit15 if you can imagine what that's like. They found bodies naked except for shoes. That was heat that did that, not fire. Heat disintegrated16 d the clothes. They found bodies shrunken, dry as paper. That was the intense heat. The other thing in a firestorm is carbon monoxide."
"I've had a checker ed career at best."
"I think what'll happen in the nottoodistant future is that we'll have humane17 wars. Each side agrees to use clean bombs. And each side agrees to limit the amount of megatons he uses. In other words we'll get together with them beforehand and there'll be an agreement that if the issue can't be settled, whatever the issue might be, then let's make certain we keep oar18 war as relatively19 humane as possible. So we agree to use clean stuff. And we actually specify20 the number of megatons; let's just say hypothetically one thousand megs for each side. So then what we've got is a twothousandmegaton war. We might go further and say we'll leave your cities .alone if you leave ours alone. We make it strictly21 counterforce. So right off the bat you avoid the fallout hazard and millions of bonus kills, or deaths from fallout. And at the same time you eliminate citytrading and punishing strikes against the general population. Of course the humanistic mind crumbles22 at the whole idea. It's the most hideous23 thing in the world to these people that such ideas even have to be mentioned. But the thing won't go away. The thing is here and you have to face it. The prospect24 of a humane war may be hideous and all the other names you can think of, but it's still a prospect. And as an alternative to all the other things that could happen in the event of war, it's relatively acceptable. My fellow coliberals are always the first to jump all over me when I talk about something like humane warfare25. But the thing has to be considered. People close their minds. They think nuclear war has to be insensate, both sides pushing all the buttons and the whole thing is over in two hours. In reality it's likely to be very deliberate, very cautious, a kind of thing that's almost fought in slow motion. And the limited humane variant26 is the most acceptable. Negotiations27 could easily take that turn. A war may have to be fought; it may be unavoidable in terms of national pride or to avoid blackmail28 or for a number of other reasons. And negotiations, whatever remains29 of negotiations, whatever talking is still going on, this could easily lead both countries to the humane war idea as the least damaging kind of thing in the face of all the variants30. So they hit our military and industrial targets with any number of bombs and missiles totaling one thousand megatons and we do the same to them. There'd be all sorts of controls. You'd practically have a referee31 and a timekeeper. Then it would be over and you'd make your damage assessment32. The sensing devices go to work. The magnetic memory drums are tapped. The computers figure out damage and number of casualties. Recovery time is estimated. We wouldn't be the same strong industrial society after one thousand megs but our cities would still be standing and the mortality rate would be in the fairly low percentiles, about eight to twelve percent. With no fallout in the atmosphere, or a relatively minimum amount, we'd have no problems with environmental stress, with things like temperature changes, erosion, droughts, insect devastation33, and we'd avoid the radiation diseases by and large, the infections, the genetic34 damage. So we'd get going again relatively soon. It wouldn't be nearly as bad as most people might expect. On the other hand this entire concept is full of flaws."
"Nagasaki was an embarrassment35 to the art of war."
"The nuclear nations have a stockpile of fissionable material I would estimate in the neighborhood of sixty thousand megatons in terms of explosive power. That's a personal estimate, based on whatever techdata I've been able to accumulate in the journals and bulletins, accurate within a factor of maybe three or four. But just for the heck of it, figure that out in terms of pounds of TNT. That's pounds now, not tons. I bet you can't do it without paper and pencil. The trick is to keep count of the zeros."
"War is the ultimate realization37 of modern technology. For centuries men have tested themselves in war. War was the final test, the great experience, the privilege, the honor, the selfsacrifice or what have you, the absolutely ultimate determination of what kind of man you were. War was the great challenge and the great evaluator. It told you how much you were worth. But it's different today. Few men want to go off and fight. We prove ourselves, our manhood, in other ways, in making money, in skydiving, in hunting mountain lions with bow and arrow, in acquiring power of one kind or another. And I think we can forget ideology39. People invent that problem, at least as far as the U.S. isconcerned. It has no real bearing as far as we're concerned. Obviously we can live with Communism; we've been doing it long enough. So people invent that. That's the grotesque40 sense of patriotism41 at work in this country. Today we can say that war is a test of opposing technologies. We can say this more than ever because it's more true than it ever was. Look, what would our cartoonists do if they wanted to satirize42 the Chinese, if we were in a period of extreme tension with the Chinese and the editorial cartoonists wanted to stir up a little patriotism? Would they draw slanted43 eyes and pigtails the way they drew buck44 teeth for the Japanese in the forties? No, no, they wouldn't make fun of the people at all. They'd satirize the machines, the nuclear capability45, the weapons and such of the Chinese. They'd draw firecrackers and kites. War has always told men what they were capable of under stress. Now it informs the machines. It's the best test of a country's technological46 skills. Are all your gaseous47 diffusion48 plants going at top efficiency? Are your ICBM guidance and control mechanisms49 ready to work perfectly50? You get the answers when war breaks out. Your technology doesn't know how good it is until it goes to war, until it's been tested in the ultimate way. I don't think we care too much about individual bravery anymore. It's better to be efficient than brave. So that's it then. It's regrettable but there it is. And your technology isn't any good if it can't beat the enemy's. Your weapons have to be more efficient than theirs, more reliable, more accurate, more deadly. Your technology has to reach peak efficiency. It has to stretch itself out, overreach itself; it has to improve itself almost instantaneously. It won't do this without the stress of war. War brings out the best in technology."
"Major, there's no way to express thirty million dead. No words. So certain men are recruited to reinvent the language."
"I don't make up the words, Gary."
"They don't explain, they don't clarify, they don't express. They're painkillers51. Everything becomes abstract. I admit it's fascinating in a way. I also admit the problem goes deeper than just saying some cryptoGoebbels in the Pentagon is distorting the language."
"Somebody has to get it before the public regardless of language. It has to be aired in public debate, clinically, the whole thing, no punches pulled, no matter how terrible the subject is and regardless of language. It has to be discussed."
"I don't necessarily disagree."
"Look, Gary, if I go out and talk to different groups about this sort of thing, it doesn't make me some kind of monster who likes to expound52 or whatever the word is on the consequences of nuclear exchange, who likes to stand up there before a group and talk about mass death and all the rest of it. If I try to inform people so they'll do something about the situation, the gravity of it, then I'm performing a service, or at least it seems to me. I'm not some kind of monstrous53 creature who enjoys talking about the spectacle of megadeath, the unprecedented54 scale of this kind of thing. It has to be talked about and expounded55 on. It has to be described for people, clinically and graphically56, so they'll know just what it is they're facing."
"I don't necessarily disagree, major."
"The greatest thrill of my life was getting a ride in the XBseventy. That was the greatest thrill of my life."
"Weapons technology is so specialized57 that nobody has to feel any guilt58. Responsibility is distributed too thinly for that. It's the old warriors59 like myself who have to take the blame for what the socalled technocrats60 and multidimensional men are up to."
"What did you want to see me about exactly?" "Just nuclear war, sir. What it might be like."
"First to sixth hour after detonation61 the groundzero circle is drenched62 with fallout. By the end of the first day the doserate begins to slow down. After a few months it slows down considerably63. It all depends on the megatons, the fission36 yield, air or surface burst, wind velocity64, mean pressure altitude, descent time, median particle size."
"Ten megatons of fission produce one million curies of strontium ninety. What does that do to milk calcium66 levels? There's a factorfour discrimination against strontium in the human body. Newly forming bone attains67 a level eight times greater than the level that's acceptable. Then there's cerium one fortyfour, plutonium two thirtynine, barium oneforty. What else have we got? Zinc68 sixtyfive in fish. Also radioiodine. That's milk, children, thyroid cancer."
"The average lethal69 mutation70 in an autosome persists for twentytwo generations."
"The aging process, the natural aging process means there's a slowdown in cell turnover71, cellular72 turnover. Now you get a cell population exposed to a particular radiation dose and what you have is an aggravation73 of the slowdown thing, the radiation on top of the natural degenerative body process. The average life span undergoes a decrease. If you're exposed to threehundredR wholebody radiation, say within seven days of when the thing hits, and then say another hundred R over the entire first year, you lose about eleven years, you undergo a lifespan reduction of eleven years. Sublethal doses also cause reproduction problems. There are problems with microcephalic offspring. There are abnormal terminations and stillbirths. There's a problem with inferior skeletal maturation of male and female progeny74. There is formation of abnormal lens tissue in offspring. There are chromosome75 breaks. There is sterility76 of course. There is general reduction of body size of male offspring six years of age and under. However, the Japanese data indicates that congenital malformation frequency would not necessarily vary from the norm as far as the first postbomb generation is concerned."
"The rate is six per thousand per one hundred R. That's twentyfour hundred lethal genetic events per four hundred thousand people exposed to one hundred roentgens. Hiroshima supports this formula."
The sun. The desert. The sky. The silence. The flat stones. The insects. The wind and the clouds. The moon. The stars. The west and east. The song, the color, the smell of the earth.
I headed back to campus through the desert. The sun was low, swept by slowly moving clouds in its decline, a crust of moon also visible, more pure in silence than the setting sun. I walked quickly, the only moving thing. Nothing else stirred, not even waning77 light folding over stone and not the slightest flick78 of an bisect at the perimeter79 of vision. The sound of my feet was the only sound, my body all there was of moving parts. I counted cadence80 for a few beats in a pleasantly regimental voice, nonchalant and southern. The wind was light and dry. The plants did not move in the wind. I remembered the black stone, the stone painted black. I wondered if I'd be able to find it. It was important at that moment to come upon something that could be defined in one sense only, something not probable or variable, a thing unalterably itself. I ruled out the stone, too rich in enigma81. I began counting cadence again. I managed the southern accent fairly well. I had a talent for accents, although I didn't make use of it very often because it seemed too easy a way to get people to laugh. I marched a bit longer. Then I saw something that terrified me. I stood absolutely still, as if motion might impede82 my understanding of this moment. It was three yards in front of me, excrement83, a low mound84 of it, simple shit, nothing more, yet strange and vile38 in this wilderness85, perhaps the one thing that did not betray its definition. I tried not to look any longer. I held my breath, fearing whatever smell might still be clinging to that spot. E wanted my .senses to deny this experience, leaving it for wind and dust. There was the graven art of a curse in that sight. It was overwhelming, a terminal act, nullity in the very word, shit, as of dogs squatting86 near partly eaten bodies, rot repeating itself; defecation, as of old women in nursing homes fouling87 their beds; feces, as of specimen88, sample, analysis, diagnosis89, bleak90 assessments91 of disease in the bowels92; dung, as of dry straw erupting with microscopic93 eggs; excrement, as of final matter voided, the chemical stink94 of self discontinued; oSal, as of butchered animals' intestines95 slick with shit and blood; shit everywhere, shit in life cycle, shit as earth as food as shit, wise men sitting impassively in shit, armies retreating in that stench, shit as history, holy men praying to shit, scientists tasting it, volumes to be compiled on color and texture96 and scent65, shit's infinite treachery, everywhere this whisper of inexistence. I hurried toward campus. All around me the day was ending. I crossed the highway and walked along the side of the road. There was a car in the distance, coming toward me. The wind picked up briefly97. The low clouds moved across the horizon. In time the college's buildings would come into view. I looked down at the road as I walked. The wind picked up again. I thought of men embedded98 in the ground, all killed, billions, flesh cauterized99 into the earth, bits of bone and hair and nails, manplanet, a fresh intelligence revolving100 through the system. Once again I rebuked101 myself for misspent reflections. I could hear the car now, just barely, a small murderous hum, as of unnamed sounds at the end of a hall. Perhaps there is no silence. Or maybe it's just that time is too compact to allow for silence to be felt. But in some form of void, freed from consciousness, the mind remakes itself. What we must know must be learned from blankedout pages. To begin to reword the overflowing102 world. To subtract and disjoin. To rerecite the alphabet. To make elemental lists. To call something by its name and need no other sound. I looked up. The car passed me, an army staff vehicle with a large circular antenna103. Soon the campus lights were visible and I stopped for a few seconds, watching the day burn out.
The sun. The desert. The sky. The silence. The flat stones. The insects. The wind and the clouds. The moon. The stars. The west and east. The song, the color, the smell of the earth.
Blast area. Fire area. Bodyburn area.
