| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: Radiation Exposures at Project TRINITY
Dosimetry information is available for about 815 individuals who
either participated in Project TRINITY activities or visited the test
site between 16 July 1945 and 1 January 1947. The listing does not
indicate the precise military or unit affiliation of all personnel.
Less than six percent of the Project TRINITY participants received
exposures greater than 2 roentgens. Twenty-three of these
individuals received exposures greater than 2 but less than 4
roentgens; another 22 individuals received between 4 and 15 roentgens.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Market-Place by Harold Frederic: it goes round just the same, without any reference whatever
to your exertions. Some few men are always cleverer
or noisier or more restless than the others, and their
activity produces certain deviations and peculiarities
in their generation. The record of these--generally
a very faulty and foolish record--we call history.
We say of these movements in the past that some of them were
good and some were bad. Our sons very likely will differ
totally from us about which were good and which were bad;
quite possibly, in turn, their sons may agree with us.
I do not see that it matters. We cannot treat anything

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Lin McLean by Owen Wister: "She seems less feeble than I had understood," I remarked.
"Yes, indeed! I do believe she's feeling stronger. She was that tired and
down yesterday with the long stage-ride, and it is so lonesome! But
Taylor and I heartened her up, and Tommy came with the mail, and to-day
she's real spruced-up like, feeling she's among friends."
"How long will she stay?" I inquired.
"Just as long as ever she wants! Me and Katie hasn't met since we was
young girls in Dubuque, for I left home when I married Taylor, and he
brought me to this country right soon; and it ain't been like Dubuque
much, though if I had it to do over again I'd do just the same, as Taylor
knows. Katie and me hasn't wrote even, not till this February, for you
