...witnesses against J. Robert Oppenheimer, the most effective was J. Robert Oppenheimer himself. His testimony showed that he had lied repeatedly in the past about important security matters. What he said in the hearing caused the board to comment, mildly enough, that Oppenheimer was even now being "less than candid." The most telling example of Oppenheimer's past capacity for untruths was drawn out in cross-examination about his relationships with his good friend Haakon Chevalier, a linguist who was once a professor at the University of California...

They help bear out his reputation for personal honesty, his enormous capacity for work, his dogged loyalty to old-fashioned leftish principles. He was candid enough to say of other New Deal liberals in general: "There personally was more comfort in going along with a bunch of reactionaries who knew where they were and where they were going than in trying to get along with a bunch of prima donnas...
