...nightmare of diplomats is a vision of dozens of countries of every size and temperament in possession of the nuclear bomb. This nightmare haunts the U.S. and the Soviet Union most of all, since together they have the overwhelming majority of the weapons and an acute realization of the unimaginable destruction that they could work. In recent months the two nations have put together a draft treaty that would limit nuclear weapons to countries that already have them and ask all others to forgo an atomic arsenal. Last week, as the diplomats of 18 nations gathered in Geneva to discuss...
Strong Corroboration. To shake the Greenglass story, Sobell's lawyers attacked the Nagasaki-bomb sketch (TIME, Aug. 12) with affidavits from two ex-Manhattan Project scientists. Both scorned the sketch as amateurish, inaccurate, a naive "caricature" of the bomb, which could not possibly have aided the Russians...

It was a task he discharged brilliantly, and then in peacetime, as chief adviser to the A.E.G., turned around to argue bitterly against carrying on with the vastly more powerful hydrogen bomb. His stand, along with disclosure of his past left-wing association, stirred a nationwide controversy that culminated in 1954 with the revocation of his security clearance, after which he returned to academe as director of Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, seeking, as he recently said, "an understanding, both historical...
