This week's Final Word comes from a friend of Wagner's:

"Let me repeat, now that I have reached the end, what I said at the beginning: man would sooner have the void for his purpose than be void of purpose."

The winner of last week's competition, who correctly identified Richard Rhodes's The Making of the Atomic Bomb , is John Kentleton of the University of Liverpool.
