Thinking you might like to know how we managed to get the story, I asked William Rospigliosi, of TIME'S Rome bureau, for an account of his work on it. This...
...hastily examined the body (reportedly after it was in the coffin) with their own instruments, they could detect no radiation. Said the A.E.C. report: Earle had never been exposed to radioactive material while working at Oak Ridge.
