During the time that the atomic bomb was being hatched by the United States at Alamogordo, New Mexico, applicants for routine jobs like janitor were disqualified if they could read. The reason was that the authorities didn't want their trash or other papers read.
Ended WW2. Japanese were clearly losing, but due to their culture and tradition they refused to surrender. The US in dropping the A-bomb debatably saved more lives then they killed, as without it the war in Asia would have continued.
