When I left Cambridge, I didn’t know how to face it very well, but I understood that this was my job; this was the change that occurred that year.”

Kai Bird Quote: “He had become the simple philosopher king, adored by his ragtag followers of expatriates, retirees, beatniks and natives.

Kai Bird Quote: “Robert confessed to Fergusson that he had been a “damn fool” and that he probably deserved what had happened to him.

And returned to a simpler way of life.”

Kai Bird Quote: “Stalin had no “master plan” for Germany, and wished to avoid military conflict with the United States. At the end of World War II, Stalin reduced his army from 11,356,000 in May 1945 to 2,874,000 in June 1947 – suggesting that even under Stalin, the Soviet Union had neither the capability nor the intention to launch a war of aggression.”

Kai Bird Quote: “This core of enriched uranium, approximately the size of a cantaloupe, would weigh about thirty-three pounds. They could also construct a weapon from the even heavier element of plutonium – produced via a neutron-capture process using U-238. A plutonium bomb would need far less critical mass, and the plutonium core might therefore weigh only eleven pounds and appear no larger than an orange. Either core would need to be packed within a thick shell of ordinary uranium the size of a basketball.”

Kai Bird Quote: “Robert often displayed a sense of humor. Upon seeing Karl Compton’s two-year-old daughter pretending to read a small red book – which just happened to be on the topic of birth control – Robert looked over at the very pregnant Mrs. Compton and quipped, “A little late.”

Kai Bird Quote: “The task of getting rid of Oppenheimer was far too important to leave to the clownish, sensation-seeking senator from Wisconsin. It would require careful planning and skillful maneuvering. After leaving Hoover, Strauss returned to his office and wrote to Senator Robert Taft, urging him to block McCarthy if he attempted to launch an investigation of Oppenheimer. It would be “a mistake,” he wrote. “In the first place some of the evidence will not stand up.”
