Throwing the bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima killed between 150.000 and 250.000 humans. Winning the war led to an economic boom is the US, which combined with returning veterans led to another kind of exploding city: the sprawling suburbs.

1945 marks the year where the atomic bomb hit Nagasaki and Hiroshima and the allied forces win WW II.

Albert Einstein lay the theoretical foundation for the atomic bomb (E=mc²), and warned president Roosevelt that the Germans may be building an atomic bomb, but being a pacifist refused to work on it himself. About writing the letter, he said, in 1954:

I made one great mistake in my life — when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification — the danger that the Germans would make them

Heist Rockah is een Nederlandse rapper die de term ‘watskeburt’ zou hebben bedacht. In de documentaire van DJTV wordt dit bevestigd op 13:28 wanneer Willie en Vjèze hem tegenkomen:

Watskeburt is the word uit de hood, we komen uit Nieuwendam ook, niet alleen Nieuwendam. Die mannnen van mij hebben allemaal een soort Gilles De La Tourette. Je zit, je smoket, je doet wat, je kijkt wat, en in eens schiet er iets uit en het blijft hangen.

Dit is een erotisch getinte opmerking, als in “wortel” tussen “kaakjes”. Willie’s artiestennaam is natuurlijk geïnspireerd door Willie Wortel, en worteltrekken is een bekende transformatie in formules.

As Alexander Dolinin explains:

The list of five jellies by itself looks rather artificial and because of that requires serious examination.

Curiously enough, in all editions of the story there is a misprint in the third letter of the third label–beech plum instead of the correct beach plum–but it is impossible to tell whether this was intended or not. [Note: Neither this edition, nor the online New Yorker edition contain this misprint.]

As Carol M. Dole observ[e]s, “the last letters of the four jellies in the list (apricot, grape, beech plum, quince) form the word theme” […], but again this could be a coincidence.

Many critics have also noted that the jellies run from sweetest (apricot) to tartest or most bitter (crab apple), perhaps suggesting the approach of death or “the bitter end.”
