Picture[edit]

Ummmm, isn't the lead picture that of General Groves and not General Nichols? 75.145.120.62 (talk) 21:21, 9 November 2014 (UTC) AKC[reply]

No, it's Nichols alright. Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:19, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Representation in factual films/documentaries[edit]

Nichols has been poetrayed in many factual tv programs. I think it would be interesting to have a list of these programs and actors (Bruce Boa?)who have played him.94.11.57.9 (talk) 11:59, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the text, yes, but a list seems like overkill. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 15:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External link to interview on nuclear policy?[edit]

Would an interview with Kenneth Nichols from 1986 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_3A889F1B35964127A80F51E4464A738D (I helped with the site, so it would be conflict of interest for me to just add it.) Mccallucc (talk) 20:54, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Added. I like external links where the reader can actually see and hear the subject. There are a few there already, but one more won't hurt. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:57, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
