After learning of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, spontaneous parties broke out in Los Alamos, one resident, Phyllis Fisher, in a letter to her mother, wrote: "By comparison the excitement on the Hill today [August 6, 1945] has put that of July 16 [date of the Trinity test] far down on the scale of insane rejoicing."
Quoted in Hunner, p.77
