Thanks for this. I hadn't heard about the New Yorker piece on Hiroshima when I prepared my quiz on Scoops. However, I did mention the only other time the magazine devoted an entire issue to one article, the El Mozote massacre in El Salvador. There too the U.S. government under Reagan denied a massacre took place, and the flow of military aid continued. Unlike Hiroshima though, U.S. media in the 1980s was to its credit more willing to ask questions.
