of their fiery fierceness by his bold way of handling them.
And, ever since that time, it has been the favorite method of
brave men, when danger assails them, to do what they call "

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: exposure, making his total exposure 6 roentgens (1).
An Army captain who accompanied all test and observer parties into the
ground zero area between 1 September and 11 October 1945 received a
total gamma exposure of 2.6 roentgens (1). The activities and times

the test site that year. No one ventured inside the fence surrounding
ground zero, and no one received an exposure greater than 1 roentgen
(1; 16).
