ROBERT: Oh-ppenheimer, Oppenheimer. Whatever way you say it, they know I'm Jewish. (Strauss chuckles) I'm president of Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan. "Straws" is just the Southern pronunciation. - Ah. - Anyway, welcome to the Institute. I think you could be very happy here. Yes, well, you'll love the commute. The position comes with that house for you and your wife and your, is it two children? Yes, two. I'm a great admirer of your work. And you're a physicist by training, Mr. Strauss? I'm sorry, uh, common room 4:00 tea. No, I'm not trained in physics or anything else. - I'm a self-made man. - Ah. - I can relate to that. - Really? Yes, my father was one.

Admiral Strauss, I'm interested in your relationship with Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. You met him in 1947? Correct. You were commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission? I was, but I-I actually met Robert in my capacity as board member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton because after the war, he was world-renowned as the great man of physics, and I was determined to get him to run the Institute.

(scoffs) This is one of the most prestigious appointments in the country. Yes, with a great commute. That's why I'm considering it. SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought your attention to his past associations before you appointed him? Yes. And it didn't concern you? Just then, I was entirely consumed with what he must have said to Einstein to sour him on me. (laughter)
