1954: The atomic energy commission votes against reinstating Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer's access to classified information. A bit closing the barn door after the horse (Trinity and the Manhattan Project) IMHO " We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
