Cory's Monument

This is a new monument to Robert Oppenheimer (on the left) and Leslie Groves (on the right) that popped up here in Los Alamos recently. I'm not quite sure why it was installed - perhaps somebody thinks that their names weren't already on enough streets and buildings in town? I do like that they are on little stands that make them look like giant toy army men though. Maybe they can make more in green plastic if they still have the molds laying around.
