My forthcoming biography "The OTHER Manhattan Project" celebrates the 75 years since Dr Dawson birthed Antibiotics in Manhattan on October 16th 1940. This project was more from Venus than Mars, more Emma Lazarus than Gordon Gekko. Defying governments, defying Allied/Axis eugenics, even defying the team's physical disabilities. But in the end, Manhattan beaconed the right of EVERYONE to receive life-saving penicillin out to a world tired, huddled and wretched.

Oct 16 '40 : Dies Mirabilis , marking 75 years of Antibiotics and Draft registration

Draft Registration, October 16th 1940 : 75 years Young !
Due out in early 2015 is my book about the origins of America's 75 year old peacetime draft registration process.
It is another in my series of books on "Agape Penicillin".
If my book about the 'Dawning of Antibiotics' on October 16 1940 focuses on the 4Fs among America's youth, this book will focus instead on the 1As among her youth.
But I do not think it is odd or a coincidence that both events share the exact same 75th anniversary, right down to the day.
