...York, Federal Judge Sylvester Ryan gave a five-year prison sentence to lanky William Perl (TIME, June 1), 34-year-old jet-propulsion expert and onetime classmate (Manhattan's City College) of Atom Spies Julius Rosenberg and Morton Sobell. It was "abundantly established," said Judge Ryan, that Perl had deliberately lied when he told a federal grand jury that he did not know Rosenberg or Sobell...
...exasperating thing about this attitude is its persistence despite the undeniable contribution universities continue to make to the national welfare and security. Universities gave this country the atom bomb, radar, napalm, and cures for innumerable diseases. More top-secret research, more trained leadership for government and industry are following out of universities now than at any other time, and yet the public insists on drawing its impressions not from the river of loyalty but from the trickle of Communist affiliation...
...Churchill doublecrosses us, let Russia have the British Isles. Then we can justifiably atom-bomb the Gulf of Mexico until the Gulf Stream flows into Canadian waters, and England will be frozen stiff next winter...

When scientists first learned how to release atomic energy, they wanted it quickly and in staggering quantities-for the atom bomb. Later, and at more leisure, they were able to study controlled reactions-the relatively slow burning of fissionable fuel. They learned to build breeder reactors that can produce more fuel than they consume. They also built an atomic engine for a submarine, and they got to work on an atomic power plant for aircraft. But for all their concentration on military applications, scientists continued to hope that by splitting atoms in an orderly fashion, they could produce large amounts...
