You neglected the introduction of heroin as a substitute and replacement for the horrors of morphine addiction.

Actually, war is never a good thing, unless you judge politcal failure as as being "good."

If you would be so kind, I would appreciate your answering a question for me? During WWII, Churchill had to make the decision to sacrifice a town in south England to German bombers in order to not reveal the existence of the Enigma machine and the fact that he could intercept and read the German code.

Could you please tell me the name of the town Curchill allowed to be sacrificed?

Thanks, Publius
