	The Story of the Atom Bomb
		The two men were Edwin Mattison McMillan (1907-1991) and Philip H. Abelson (1913-), who was later decorated by our government for this achievement.
		It was exciting enough to have made a new element, but what was even more thrilling was the discovery, before the end of that same year, of still another element which turned out to be even more interesting than neptunium.
		McMillan, Glenn Theodore Seaborg (1912-1999), Arthur C. Wahl (1917-?), and Joseph William Kennedy (1917-?) learned late in 1940 that neptunium actually changed into another element heavier than itself.
