Setting fire to the atmosphere. Why is Fermi still taking side bets on it? Call it gallows humor.

He took it. America and Russia may be likened to two scorpions in a bottle, each capable of killing the other but only at the risk of his own life. Now, there are various aspects of this policy... STRAUSS: Lot of scientists blame me, but how was I supposed to protect him? Too secret for discussion, candor is the only remedy. Officials in Washington need to start leveling with the American people. (people murmuring) That was the last straw for Robert's enemies. So he had to lose his security clearance. - And with it, his credibility. - (knocking) But how could they do it? He was a war hero. He'd already told everyone about his past. Borden dredged it all up. How could Borden get access to Oppenheimer's FBI file? Could it have been Nichols? No, I can't imagine he'd do that. But whoever did unleashed a firestorm that burned a path from the White House back to my desk at the AEC. You see them in there, right? I've been working my whole life to get here. Cabinet of the United States of America. Now, in front of the entire country, they're gonna put me back in my place.

A lowly shoe salesman. Lewis, we can win this thing. I-I think we can get the Senate to grasp that you did your duty, painful though it was. Now, will Hill's testimony back us up? - COUNSEL: Hill will be fine. - I don't really know him, but, uh, he was one of Szilard's boys in Chicago, and they never forgave Robert for not supporting their petition against bombing Japan. This was taken 31 days after the bombing. Virtually everyone in the street, for nearly a mile around, was instantly and seriously burned. (people gasping) The, uh, Japanese spoke of people who wore striped clothing upon whom the skin was burned in stripes.

I told you, he turned the scientists against me one by one, starting with Einstein. I told you about, uh, Einstein. I saw him by the pond. You did, but you know, sir, since nobody really knows what they said to each other that day, is it possible they didn't talk about you at all? Is it possible they spoke about something, uh, more important? REPORTERS: Mr. Strauss! (clamoring)
