A CHANGE OF PLACE

In “Shouting It Like It Is” (Guest Bites Town, May 31), Bob Baker suggests that the Los Angeles riots must have been like watching the first atomic test at Los Alamos, N.M. I can assure him that he would not have marveled in terror at the energy unleashed if he had been in Los Alamos on the date of that first test of the atomic bomb. It took place about 300 miles south of Los Alamos in the desert near Alamogordo.
