A
condition that Saudi
Arabia normalize relations
with Israel hasn't killed
the nuclear agreement—only
masked the fine print,
writes Sharon
Squassoni.
Behind official claims
that uranium enrichment is
off the table, the US
admin's deal risks
dragging Washington
straight into a trap. Read

In
August 1945, the United
States used nuclear bombs
on the Japanese cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It
was the first and remains
the last time that nuclear
weapons have been used in
war. To mark 81 years
since that August, the Bulletin
is bringing together three
storytellers who have
engaged with this history
in diverse ways to talk
about what happened, what
society remembers (and
what it doesn't), and why
telling these stories is
still crucial more than
eight decades into the
nuclear era. Register
here.

The
scariest movie film
curator Rebecca
Fons has ever
seen is no Hollywood
blockbuster. Instead, it's
something much less
well-known: a 47-minute,
black-and-white,
pseudo-documentary made in
1960's Britain that
more-or-less immediately
disappeared—possibly
because those who
commissioned it thought
the result "too horrifying
for the medium of
broadcasting." This
Bulletin
magazine article is
available to all readers
for a limited time.
