...those schöne jahren (beautiful years), brilliant minds and crackling chalk-talks lured young scholars like Werner Heisenberg. a future Nobelman who wandered about in lederhosen, and Italy's Enrico Fermi, future U.S. father of the Abomb. U.S. Physicist Robert Oppenheimer, winner last week of the AEC's Fermi Award (see PEOPLE), got his Ph.D. at Göttingen in 1927. Another Göttingen recruit: Hungary's Edward Teller, future U.S. father of the H-bomb...
...choice of J. Robert Oppenheimer as recipient of the Enrico Fermi Award by the Atomic Energy Commission is as welcome as it is overdue.

He has never liked military brass since, and is appalled by the way the world is again accepting "as reasonable and respectable the utterances and actions of these people," apparently drawing little distinction between Fascist and any other kind of general.

Gathered there was a team of scientists and engineers headed by Enrico Fermi, a refugee from Mussolini's Italy. They had finished building history's first nuclear reactor. Now they were using it to produce the first controlled nuclear reaction...
