Janus Manhattan, 1939-1945 , indeed.
How on earth to conform two wildly variant images of Manhattan (and America) that originated in the same place and time (the eighty acre spread in upper Manhattan between the Nash Building and the Lutheran Hospital , in the summer of 1943) ?
The selfish secrecy of the atomic Manhattan Project , as America schemed to keep The Bomb from even its closest allies.
Set this against the same America's selfless sharing of the penicillin Manhattan Project with the whole world - even with former enemies !
